Apolipoprotein A-1 and B

The Apolipoprotein A1 & B Panel provides a sophisticated look at your cardiovascular health. While standard cholesterol tests measure the amount of cholesterol, this test measures the specific particles that transport fats through your bloodstream. The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is widely considered by specialists to be a superior predictor of heart disease risk than standard LDL cholesterol alone—especially for individuals already taking cholesterol-lowering medications or those with a family history of heart concerns.

What This Test Covers

• Apolipoprotein B (ApoB): Measures the "bad" particles that can cause plaque buildup in your arteries.

• Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1): Measures the "good" particles that help clear cholesterol from your body.

• Heart Disease Risk Assessment: Provides the critical ratio used to evaluate your long-term cardiovascular health.

Why Order This Test?

• Advanced Screening: Goes beyond the standard Lipid Panel for a more accurate risk profile.

• Comprehensive Insight: Ideal for those with "normal" LDL but other heart disease risk factors.
