Ɛyɛ awerɛhow dɛn ara sɛ wubehu sɛ wo maame, wo papa, anaa obi a ɔbɛn wo paa werɛ afi biribiara nkakrankakra? Alzheimer yare a efi ase bere a wɔn werɛ fi din ne mmeae, na wontumi nkae nneɛma nketenkete mpo no, sɛe nkakrankakra bere a bere kɔ so no. Mprempren wonni aduru biara a wɔde bɛsa yare yi. Nanso, seesei aduru foforo bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Leqembi (lecanemab) a ebetumi ama yare no atrɛw wɔ mfiase no. Momma yɛnka eyi ho asɛm tiawa ne ayamye mu nnɛ.
Dɛn na aduru a wɔfrɛ no Leqembi yi yɛ amemene no ankasa?
Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, Leqembi boa nnipa a wɔwɔ Alzheimer yare no mfiase ma wɔyɛ wɔn ankasa nneɛma na wɔtra ase wɔ ahofadi mu kyɛ kakra.
Fa no sɛ ntini a ɛwɔ yɛn amemene mu no te sɛ kurow bi mmɔnten so. Nsɛm ne nkaeɛ tu kwan fa mmɔnten yi so. Wɔ Alzheimer yare mu no, protein bi a wɔfrɛ no ‘amyloid beta’ boaboa ano na ɛdan te sɛ nwura a wɔaboaboa ano wɔ mmɔnten yi so. Yɛfrɛ eyi `amyloid beta plaques.' Saa nwura a wɔaboaboa ano yi siw nsɛm a ɛkɔ ntini mu nkwammoaa ntam no kwan. Ɛno nti na nneɛma te sɛ nkae a wontumi nkae, adwene a wontumi nsusuw nneɛma ho, ne adwene a ɛyɛ basaa de nkakrankakra ba no.
Leqembi aduru no yɛ eyi pɛpɛɛpɛ denam amemene no a ɛho tew denam “amyloid beta plaques ” yi a eyi fi hɔ no so . Eyi brɛ nkitahodi a ɛkɔ so wɔ amemene mu nkwammoaa ntam no ase, na ɛma yare no kɔ so brɛoo.
Nea ɛho hia sen biara ne sɛ saa aduru yi ntumi nsan mfa nkae a ayera no mma bio. Nanso, ebetumi ama yare no akɔ so brɛoo na ama ɔyarefo no atra ase yiye akyɛ kakra.
Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobetumi anya saa ayaresa yi?
Eyi nyɛ aduru a wubetumi anom wɔ fie. Leqembi yɛ aduru a ɛyɛ nsu a wɔde gu ntini mu (intravenous - IV infusion) . Wɔde saa ayaresa yi ma wɔ ayaresabea anaa ayaresabea, wɔ aduruyɛfo hwɛ ase.
- Ayaresa nhyehyɛe: Wɔtaa de saa aduru yi ma adapɛn abien biara.

- Sɔhwɛ ahorow: Ansa na wobɛhyɛ saa ayaresa yi ase no, wo duruyɛfo bɛyɛ MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan de ahwɛ sɛ amyloid beta plaques wɔ w’amemene mu anaa. Bere a wɔreyɛ ayaresa no, wɔyɛ MRI mfonini nso de hwɛ sɛ ebia aduru no reyɛ adwuma ne sɛ ebia ɛrenya w’amemene so nkɛntɛnso anaa.
Ɛho hia yiye sɛ wobɛkɔ ayaresa nhyiam ahorow sɛnea wo duruyɛfo ayɛ nhyehyɛe no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Sɛ wuhuruw a, ebetumi atew aduru no a etu mpɔn no so.
Henanom na aduru yi ye ma wɔn? Hena na ɛnyɛ nea ɛfata?
