    What is Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) Test?

    The Apolipoprotein A1 test, also called the Apo A1 test, measures the amount of a protein called apolipoprotein A1 in your blood. Apolipoproteins help transport cholesterol in the body by forming tiny particles called lipoproteins. Apo A1 is part of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often called the "good cholesterol." HDL helps clear excess cholesterol from the blood, reducing the risk of its build-up in the arteries.

    Low Apo A1 levels may indicate you have fewer "good cholesterol" particles. This could increase your risk of heart problems, like heart disease or issues with blood circulation. Doctors may recommend the test if someone has high cholesterol, a family history of heart disease, or a condition called hyperlipidaemia (too much fat in the blood). It can also check how well lifestyle changes or treatments for high cholesterol are working.

    Low Apo A levels can be caused by conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, smoking, or certain medications. High levels are usually not a concern and may result from exercise, weight loss, or pregnancy.

    This test is not commonly done but can give doctors extra information about heart health. It does not replace other cholesterol tests but adds to them when needed.

    Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) Test Parameters

    The Apo A1 test measures a single parameter – Apo A1 levels in the blood.

    Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) is a protein that makes up about 65% of HDL. It helps HDL form and supports an important enzyme called lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT). This enzyme changes cholesterol into a form that the body can remove.

    HDL’s main job is to carry extra cholesterol from the body’s tissues to the liver, where it is broken down and removed. If your Apo A1 levels are low, your body may not clear cholesterol properly, which increases the risk of heart disease or problems with blood vessels. People with hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) often have lower Apo A1 levels. Genetics can also affect Apo A1 levels, but not all genetic changes lead to heart problems.

    Doctors often check Apo A1 and another protein, Apolipoprotein B (Apo B), to measure heart health risks. The balance between these two proteins can give a clearer picture of heart health as compared to regular cholesterol tests.

    Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) Test Preparation

    When planning to take an Apolipoprotein A1 test at home, keep the following considerations in mind:

    Prerequisites

    Generally, no fasting or special preparation is required before the Apo A1 test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    The Apo A1 test can be conducted at any time during the day.

    Who Should Get an Apolipoprotein A1 Test?

    The Apo A1 test is recommended for those with high cholesterol, a family history of heart disease, or those managing cholesterol with medication or lifestyle changes.

    Cautions Before Taking Apolipoprotein A1 Test

    No special precautions need to be taken before the Apo A1 test.

    Why Take the Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) Test?

    The Apolipoprotein A1 test may be recommended for:

    • Individuals with high cholesterol or fat levels (hyperlipidaemia)

    • Individuals with a family history of heart issues, particularly early heart attacks

    • Evaluating the Apo A/Apo B ratio for cholesterol balance

    • Tracking improvements in cholesterol levels with lifestyle changes or medication

    • Identifying genetic disorders linked to low HDL cholesterol

    The Apolipoprotein A1 test is more accurate and precise than typical HDL cholesterol tests and provides a reliable assessment of your cardiovascular health compared to standard HDL cholesterol tests. Overall, it plays a crucial role in effectively managing and understanding your heart health.

    • Good experience everytime except one where phlebotomist didn't prick correctly. My wife had much pain even after few days and it looked like some clot had happened. But it was one in almost 20 visits. I would still recommend. One suggestion to Orange would be to keep Lithium tests within a day so we could get test results faster

I had a very good experience again.

    • The best experience I have had in the last two weeks with multiple tests booked for different family members. From the moment I contacted them till the receipt of the results and re-bookings for follow up tests, everything was fantastic. Pls note the sample taking covered early morning visit, for a patient aged 90+!! Initially I had made the big mistake of contacting another big-noise, big-ad spending Lab service provider based on a Google search of a particular test resulting in its top of page listing, and was utterly disgusted with that Labs' service. I would fully recommend Orange for anyone - possibly any test, any age patient. Thank you Orange Labs.
