AlzheimAlert™: An Aid to the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease
AlzheimAlert™ is a painless, accurate and cost-effective urine test that can aid physicians in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
The test uses a first-morning urine sample to measure the level of a brain protein called neural thread protein (NTP) known to be elevated in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. There is an extensive scientific literature over the past decade linking NTP to Alzheimer's disease and confirming its accuracy as a biochemical marker for this devastating illness. For further information see the Bibliographic References and the Clinical Summary.
AlzheimAlert™ is available to physicians through Nymox's CLIA-certified Clinical Reference Laboratory in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey at a cost of $295. Nymox provides the necessary specimen container and a pre-paid Fed-Ex shipping package. Results will be provided within approximately 5 working days from receipt of the specimen.
