Has anyone here read anything about this dementia test? If I ever show cognitive decline, I think I would like to get this test. Then maybe have an exit plan.

My husband had this blood test to diagnose Alzheimer’s. It is extremely accurate and not only tells you what is present in his brain that is present with Alzheimer’s but gives you an idea of the rate of progression to determine the stage of the disease. Results took several weeks and could only be done through Labcorp.

I read that it got FDA approval in May. I plan to request it when next I see my mom's PCP. Mom's MRI shows Vascular Dementia but I think she has a mix as her Kappa/Llamba showed amyloid plaques, and I want to know..

This blood test was recently approved for Alzheimer’s diagnosis for ages 50 and over.
