Plasma Exchange, Albumin & IVIG for Alzheimer’s – AMBAR Trial Results with Merce Boada, MD, Ph.D.

February 23, 2022

In this episode of Evolving Past Alzheimer’s, Dr. Nate Bergman talks with an international leader in Alzheimer’s, Mercé Boada Rovira MD, Ph.D. founder and director of the ACE Alzheimer’s Center in Barcelona, Spain. Dr. Boada has led and published results of over 100 Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment trials over the many decades of her career.

They discuss the results of the AMBAR trial – The Alzheimer Management by Albumin Replacement – where people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s showed significant improvements after having their blood plasma exchanged in addition to receiving either IV Albumin as well as IVIg (in some of the experimental groups).

The study doesn’t offer an explanation of the mechanisms around why Albumin and IVIg might have been effective, but a robust conversation about the research and the durability of the positive results ensues.

Thank you so much for the loving care and compassion you showed to our mother and to us during her stay and death. We know, she was not the most compliant person, buy you showed her the same loving care no matter what. We were blessed to have her in your care. You are truly all angels. Thank you again!

Ann

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful care you gave my dad the last 5 1/2 months of his life. If he couldn’t be at home with my mother, you were the next closest thing.

Barbara

Thank you also for the very touching and beautiful memorial service and luncheon honoring Mom and Dad. It meant a lot to us to have all of you share your remembrances of them.

Marianne & family

We greatly appreciate all that you have done for my Dad and for us. Your compassion, dedication, and gentle ways were a tremendous help. No one ever said to us, “It will be okay,” instead you said “We’ll help you.”

Alzheimer’s and dementia are formidable foes and they strip the individuals stricken of all of their dignity, yet you and your staff work diligently to reinstate the dignity and you do it quite successfully.

Joseph

This is to thank you and all the Kemper staff who organized the memorial service last Friday. The content was perfectly appropriate and many of the participants expressed compliments to the kitchen staff for the great luncheon.
