Apolipoprotein B

Apolipoprotein B


The Apolipoprotein B test measures the number of cholesterol-carrying particles in your blood that can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries. High Apo B levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. This test is especially helpful for people with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or a family history of heart conditions. It is often recommended alongside a lipid profile for a more complete heart health assessment.
