Apolipoprotein A


The Apolipoprotein A test measures the main protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in your blood. Apo A-I plays an important role in removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transporting it to the liver for processing. Abnormal levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This test provides additional insight beyond standard cholesterol tests and supports early, preventive heart care.
