About the test

Duritect-AD™ is a disease "risk assessment" test. It combines a simple blood test with machine learning analysis to assess your risk of having Alzheimer’s disease.^1,7

Your doctor can recommend Duritect-AD™ for you if appropriate. It is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnostic evaluation of adult patients aged 55+ who show signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment that could indicate Alzheimer’s disease or other causes of cognitive decline.¹

The test looks for the presence of specific autoantibodies in your blood as biomarkers of the disease.¹

The testing process

Here’s how to get tested with Duritect-AD™:

Step 1: Make an appointment with your doctor.
Step 2: Your doctor will assess your situation and determine whether Duritect-AD™ is appropriate for you.
Step 3: Once the test is ordered, you can make the payment and provide a blood sample at your healthcare provider.

Your blood sample will be sent to Durin Life Sciences’ laboratory and analyzed using a combination of scientific approaches.

The test results are generally available 48–72 hours after the laboratory receives your blood sample.*

* Delays in the delivery of samples to the laboratory may impact the turnaround time for results.

Understanding your results

Your doctor will discuss the results with you to explain what they mean and recommend the best course of action.

Your results will show either an increased risk or a typical risk of Alzheimer’s disease.³

Increased risk: Your Alzheimer's disease risk score indicates that you have a higher probability of having Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
Typical risk: Your Alzheimer's disease risk score indicates that you have a typical probability of having Alzheimer’s disease pathology.

Whether you have an increased risk or a typical risk, your doctor will help determine what your next steps should be.

You may be sent for more tests to confirm the diagnosis or to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
