What is the Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) test?
The Apo-B test measures the main component of lipid metabolism found in our body. It is the major protein in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Apo-B is considered a major risk marker for heart disease. Instead of analyzing LDL or VLDL to rule out the chances of any coronary heart disease, it is more specific to measure the Apo-B levels.

What does it measure?
The Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) test: Analyzes whether or not you are at risk for heart disease. It analyzes the amount of Apolipoprotein B in your blood. This Apolipoprotein B attaches to negative types of cholesterol that cause plaque buildup in your blood vessels, which can lead to damage and heart disease. Apo B-100 monitors the levels that tend to mirror LDL-C levels, a test routinely ordered as part of a lipid profile. Many experts think that Apo-B levels may eventually prove to be a better indicator of the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than LDL-C. Some of them recommend the measurement of Apo-B to help with risk prediction when a person has multiple risk factors.
