Apolipoprotein B Test

The Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) Test is a specialized blood test that measures the amount of Apo B, a protein found in LDL cholesterol particles, often called the “bad” cholesterol. Since high Apo B levels are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, this test gives a clearer picture of your cardiovascular health than standard cholesterol measurements alone. By checking Apo B levels, your healthcare provider can more accurately assess lipid-related cardiovascular risk. The results of an Apo B blood test can help guide important health decisions, including treatment options, lifestyle changes, and preventive care strategies to reduce your long-term risk of heart disease. Taking this test is a proactive step toward protecting your heart health and managing your cholesterol more effectively.
