Apolipoprotein - B near me in Meerut

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 Meerut 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. 

Overnight fasting for 8-12 hours is required for this test. Do not eat or drink anything except water before the test. However, inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some of them could impact the test results.
