Passive AD Immunotheraphy

What is Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of organic dementia. It affects roughly10% of the population over 65 and 40% of those over 85 years of age. Unlike other leading causes of death, mortality from Alzheimer’s disease is increasing. The number of cases is predicted to escalate dramatically over the next 2–3 decades as success in treating heart disease and cancer permits more individuals to reach the age of risk for dementias.

Summary of Test and Benefits

Knowing that your symptoms are due to Alzheimer’s can help inform your physician to prescribe specific Alzheimer’s treatments in order to aid in the management of the disease.  If your symptoms are unlikely due to Alzheimer’s (e.g. a normal test result), your physician can search for other causes, some of which can be treated with different interventions.

Earlier detection provides the opportunity for earlier care options, including clinical trials. Many clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease are looking for participants who show initial signs of cognitive impairment. You also may be eligible to enrol in clinical trials as a result of the PassiveAD test results.
