Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
Protein present on atherogenic lipoprotein particles; its concentration reflects the number of circulating atherogenic particles and adds context to cardiovascular risk.
What is measured?
The concentration of apolipoprotein B, with one ApoB molecule on each major atherogenic lipoprotein particle.
What the result represents?
Aden's range
What a raised or a low result can indicate
How Aden reads it as part of a system?
Aden reads this result alongside LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a) and your previous measurements. It is treated as one part of the wider cardiovascular picture, not as a diagnosis on its own.
What changes between tests?
Which related markers give it context?
LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a)
