For the first time in Israel: a simple blood test for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's - voila! health. The new blood test will cost several thousand shekels.
The early detection is intended for the benefit of starting drug treatment or lifestyle changes that may slow down the development of the disease. The test called AD-Detect is exclusively represented in Israel by Medical Link and is designed to detect in the blood sample a high concentration of amyloid beta protein which indicates Alzheimer's.
