In this area, Quest Diagnosis does most blood tests of all types for Doctors.

The test names for this are:

Quest AD Detect (TM), BETA AMYLOID 42/40 RATIO, P ABETA 42

ABETA 40 ABETA 42/40 Ratio


I was in range for both. I think this test is so new it is only available via Quest and it took three weeks to get the results. My daughter is office manager for a Dr. office who uses Quest doing for doing labs. When she found about it, she told me.
