APOLIPOPROTEIN - B (APO-B)
What does APOLIPOPROTEIN - B (APO-B) measure?
This test measures apolipoprotein B (ApoB), a protein found on cholesterol-containing particles such as LDL and other atherogenic lipoproteins. ApoB reflects the number of these particles in the blood and may help assess cardiovascular risk, especially when standard cholesterol results need further evaluation. It may be used to support lipid disorder assessment and to monitor risk-management plans.
