Apolipoprotein – Apo B

Description

The Apolipoprotein B Test measures Apo B, a protein found in atherogenic lipoprotein particles, including LDL and VLDL. Apo B measurement helps estimate the number of potentially artery-damaging lipoprotein particles circulating in the blood. It may be useful in assessing cardiovascular risk, particularly in patients with diabetes, metabolic syndrome or abnormal lipid levels. Results should be interpreted alongside the standard lipid profile and the patient’s overall cardiovascular risk factors.
