.The goal of this interventional study is to estimate the diagnostic performance of plasma biomarkers of interest (Aβ40 and Aβ42, P-Tau and NFL), enabling discrimination between patients with and without a pathophysiological AD process. The main questions it aims to answer are: * to define a threshold value for each of the plasma, * to describe the correlations between the plasma biomarkers of interest and the other biological analyses performed as part of care, in particular triglyceridemia, cholesterolemia, glycemia and proteinemia, * to describe biomarker results in relation to comorbidities, in particular dyslipidemia and diabetes * to describe the final diagnosis and results obtained for plasma biomarkers, for patients with intermediate results according to the A/T/N classification (A-/T+ or A+/T-) Participants will be selected among patients undergoing lumbar puncture for the differential diagnosis of AD at Nancy University Hospital.

Aβ40 and Aβ42, P-Tau, Tau and NFL
Peptides Aβ40 and Aβ42, P-Tau and NFL, assayed in plasma. Peptides Aβ40 and Aβ42, Tau and P-Tau assayed in CSF
Time frame: 2 years
Sensitivity/specificity
sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the plasma biomarkers of interest (Aβ40 and Aβ42, P-Tau and NFL) according to the defined threshold value, with reference to the A/T/N classification
Time frame: 2 years
Co-mobidity
results of assays for plasma biomarkers of interest (Aβ40 and Aβ42, P-Tau and NFL) in subgroups of patients with co-morbidities (notably dyslipidemia, diabetes)
Time frame: 2 years
Final diagnosis
final diagnosis selected according to criteria used in clinical practice (based on a multidisciplinary approach including analysis of biological results) and measurement of plasma biomarkers (Aβ40 and Aβ42, P-Tau and NFL) in the subgroup of patients with intermediate results according to the A/T/N classification (A-/T+ or A+/T-)
Time frame: 2 years
