Amyloid Beta Screening in Scottsdale

A Convenient and Simple Diagnostic Test to screen for Early Alzheimer’sNormal brain and brain with alzheimers

Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine offers Amyloid Beta (Aβ) screening, which research has shown to have a 90% accuracy in detecting Alzheimer’s disease, as part of our medical services for individuals and families in Scottsdale and its surrounding areas. The primary screening method is a simple blood test that we perform through a patient-funded study in association with the Young Blood Institute, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit clinical research organization studying new indications for therapeutic plasma exchange. Our doctors can recommend additional screening depending on your results and possible treatment options if necessary.

This screening costs a little under $1,000 and getting an early diagnosis can make a critical difference in your chances of successful treatment. We are dedicated to empowering you with all necessary information so you can play an active role in your well-being. Our staff members are here to answer any questions you may have about the screening or your treatment plan.

What Does Amyloid Beta (Aβ) Testing Involve?

Our Amyloid Beta (Aβ) screening at Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine uses a simple blood test to check your levels of amyloid-beta plaque. Scientific research has shown that this test has an accuracy of greater than 90% in detecting sufficiently high levels of this substance to predict the likelihood of contracting Alzheimer’s disease.

If your results indicate excessive levels of amyloid-beta plaque, our doctors can order diagnostic image testing, usually a PET scan. This additional test, can help to visually confirm the presence of amyloid plaque in your brain.

When both tests confirm high levels of amyloid-beta plaque in the bloodstream and the brain, we can create a treatment plan for using plasma exchange to remove Amyloid Beta (Aβ) plaques, with the intention of stopping the progression of Alzheimer’s disease or preventing it altogether. For those who have concerns about cognitive decline, we can incorporate standardized cloud-based software testing to assess your level of cognitive impairment. This standardized instrument assesses orientation, language, memory, praxis, attention, abstract thinking, perception and calculation. For those with no signs of cognitive impairment but having high levels of Amyloid Beta (Aβ) plaques, we can use plasma exchange as a treatment modality to attempt to remove or halt further development of the plaques and prevent or mitigate any development of cognitive impairment.

Our Amyloid Beta (Aβ) Treatment Options in Scottsdalenormal brain and alzheimers brain

At Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine, we can treat accumulation of Amyloid Beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain with therapeutic plasma exchange, also known as plasmapheresis. Research has shown that this technique helps to reduce or mitigate any further accumulation of amyloid-beta plaque, which can potentially reduce current symptoms of Alzheimer’s and slow down or prevent future progression of the disease.

Published studies by Grifols have demonstrated how counteracting and limiting the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaque with therapeutic plasma exchange can help Alzheimer’s patients. Plasma exchange methods have previously provided effective treatment for disorders of the blood, immune, or metabolic function. Plasmapheresis may soon become a breakthrough solution to prevent or stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by reducing levels of Amyloid Beta (Aβ) plaque in the brain, depending on the outcome of our ongoing research.

We can also recommend IV nutritional therapy in addition to plasmapheresis depending on your situation. IV therapy is an effective solution to ensure that you receive all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you need. This method directly injects your customized supplement into your bloodstream which offers immediate results. By bypassing the digestive system, IV nutritional therapy helps your body absorb vitamins and minerals at a much higher rate than it would with oral supplements.

Our team understands how each individual’s situation is unique and we always tailor treatment plans to your specific needs. We are also happy to collaborate with your primary physician and other specialists you may see to ensure that we are all on the same page regarding your health.

  • My life changed when I began treatment at the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine.

    “I have suffered with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and Diabetes Type 2 for a number of years. As the MCS progressively worsened over the years, I was basically confined to my home. Certain activities of daily living became impossible or extremely difficult for me to do; shopping, pumping gas, traveling, attending religious services. I began to socialize less and less with friends and family, due to their homes or they themselves not being environmentally friendly. Their laundry detergent, perfumes, or deodorant would cause me to become very ill. My diabetes was also out of control, even with traditional prescription drugs including insulin. My life changed when I began treatment at the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine.* My diabetes is finally stable with the correct diet, supplements, and exercise regimen.* My MCS no longer has complete control over my life.* I still avoid chemical exposure as much as possible but with supplements and a personal air purifier I am now able to be more independent and enjoy a social life once again.* My quality of life has significantly improved only after 2 months of treatment!* I cannot thank them enough!* *Disclaimer: There is no guarantee of successes for any given medical treatment.

  • Definitely a game changer!

    “I just wanted to take a moment to email you to say thank you for your very detailed testing and even considering Lyme as a possible suspect to my ailments.* Had I not gone to see you I would have never even thought of Lyme as a reason for my weakness on my right arm and leg.* In your recommendations you had stated you wanted me to possibly get checked for Lyme and I asked and asked and not one insurance doctor would do the test.* Everyone said that there was no reason to check. Well, we moved to Virginia at the end of November and finally about three weeks ago the neurologist that I went to see for my migraines here tested me for Lyme. The results came back equivocal (1.10 on Elisa) and she simply stated that they found antibodies in my blood. And she started me on Doxycycline (100mg 2x day) for 21 days. I don’t know much about Lyme but will be seeing an infectious disease doctor on Wednesday. In the meantime, we had our newborn (born 1/21/13) tested with the Western blot and another test and per the pediatrician the results were negative. We will continue praying that he will not be affected. … Thank you very much for being that little guiding light that led us in the right direction.* Once again Dr.Grout, continue to do what you do.* You were definitely a game changer for sure.* *Disclaimer: There is no guarantee of successes for any given medical treatment.
