Know more about this test

An Apolipoprotein - B test measures the level of apolipoprotein B (Apo B) in the blood. Apo B is the primary protein component associated with low-density lipoprotein (LDL), also known as “bad” cholesterol. This test helps assess your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as heart attack and stroke. It is available at an affordable price in Bhopal with Tata 1mg labs.   

This test is especially useful when standard cholesterol tests, such as LDL cholesterol levels, may not provide a complete picture of cardiovascular risk. It can be done when there are risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. Also, it can be done if you have symptoms suggestive of heart disease or cardiovascular problems, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc. Additionally, an Apolipoprotein - B test also helps diagnose a rare inherited deficiency of Apolipoprotein B. 

No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some of them could impact the test results.

Understanding Apolipoprotein - B

Apolipoprotein B, or Apo - B, is an essential protein that assists in transporting fats within the blood. It is primarily associated with low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad cholesterol." Elevated levels of Apo - B may lead to plaque (fat buildup) in the arteries. This may raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other heart conditions. That is why it is crucial to know the Apo-B level for maintaining heart health.

An Apolipoprotein - B test is useful when routine cholesterol tests are not providing sufficient information regarding heart health. Doctors might order this test if there are symptoms of heart issues, such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or rapid heartbeat. It can also be ordered if there are risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease. This test also helps assess whether the treatment is effective in individuals with an existing heart condition. It can also be used to diagnose a very rare inherited disorder in which the body does not produce enough Apo B protein.

No fasting is required for this test. Eat and drink normally. Inform the doctor about any medicines or supplements being taken for heart problems, as they may affect test results. Always consult the doctor before making any changes to medication.

Test results can be slightly different depending on the lab. The doctor will explain what the result means. Based on the result, the doctor may plan a treatment or give advice on changes in lifestyle and medicines to manage the condition.

What does Apolipoprotein - B measure?

The Apolipoprotein - B test measures the level of Apo B in the blood. The protein helps in transporting fats and cholesterol within the body. Apo B is a central component of some fat-carrying particles in the blood, such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and chylomicrons. It binds to LDL or "bad" cholesterol, which may result in plaque developing in the blood vessels. This accumulation can lead to heart disease, which can become grave or life-threatening if left untreated.
