The study will determine if Therapeutic Plasma Exchange removes RNA biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's Disease and how quickly those biomarkers reappear after treatment.
Participants with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or Mild Cognitive Impairment will undergo therapeutic plasma exchange as part of their treatment for the disease as per the AMBAR Trial protocol. Patients will undergo one non-invasive tests to assess their microvascular system and complete one online test to assess the degree of cognitive impairment. Patients will have their blood drawn pre-plasma exchange, immediately post plasma exchange and repeated assessments and blood draws at seven day intervals post plasma exchange ending on the twenty-eighth day after the plasma exchange.
Their blood will be analyzed by FBB Biomed to identify the presence of unique RNA biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease and determine how quickly they regenerate.
