Apolipoprotein Evaluation (Apo-A-1, Apo-B, Lpa)

Description: Apolipoprotein A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol. Like HDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B-100 is the primary protein associated with LDL cholesterol and other lipid particles. Like LDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The ratio of these two apolipoproteins correlates with risk of cardiovascular disease.

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes: Apolipoprotein A1, Apolipoprotein B, Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio (calculated)
