APOLIPOPROTEINS B

What is an Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Test?

An Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Test is a blood test that measures the amount of Apolipoprotein B, a protein found on low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and other cholesterol-carrying particles in the blood. Since each of these particles contains one ApoB molecule, the test provides an accurate estimate of the number of potentially harmful cholesterol particles circulating in your bloodstream.

This test is recommended by doctors in BEHROR for assessing the risk of heart disease, particularly in those individuals who have high cholesterol levels, diabetes, obesity, and a family history of heart disease. The results provide information other than that provided by the lipid profile test.
