About the test
Apolipoprotein Evaluation measures key proteins involved in lipid metabolism, including Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo-A1), Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B), and Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. This panel provides a detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk beyond traditional cholesterol tests.
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |
|---|---|
| Apolipoprotein A-1 The main protein component of HDL ('good') cholesterol. Higher levels are generally associated with better cardiovascular protection. | 94–176 mg/dL |
| Apolipoprotein B The main protein found on LDL and other 'bad' cholesterol particles. Considered a strong indicator of cardiovascular risk, since each particle carries one ApoB molecule. | 52–80 mg/dL |
| Lipoprotein(a) A genetically-determined, LDL-like particle. Elevated levels are an independent, largely inherited risk factor for cardiovascular disease. | 0–75 nmol/L |
