Understanding Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum in Vadodara


What is Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum in Vadodara?

The Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum test measures the levels of Apolipoprotein A1  (Apo A1), and Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) with Apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio in your blood. This test helps assess your risk for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, etc, diagnose and monitor disorders related to lipid metabolisms such as hyperlipidemia and familial hypercholesterolemia, and monitor the effectiveness of lipid-lowering medications such as statins. It is available at an affordable price in Vadodara with Tata 1mg labs.  

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. 

What does Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum measure?

Contains 3 tests

The Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum test helps check the levels of Apolipoproteins in your blood. It contains three tests namely, Apolipoprotein - A1, Apolipoprotein - B, and Apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio. Apolipoprotein - A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and its increased concentrations are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B is the primary protein associated with LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and other lipid molecules. An increase in LDL cholesterol is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. While the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio compares the values of Apo B to ApoA1 and an elevated ApoB:ApoA1 ratio confers increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Getting tested with the Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum test can help lower your risk for cardiovascular disease and ensure that you live a longer, healthier life.

Apolipoprotein - B

The Apolipoprotein B test is used to evaluate the level of Apolipoprotein B in your blood. It is a type of protein that aids in the transportation of fat and cholesterol throughout the body. Apo B serves as the primary protein component of lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and chylomicrons. It binds to LDL or “bad” cholesterol, causing plaque accumulation in the blood vessels. This can lead to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease that can be life-threatening if left untreated.

Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio

An Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio test helps predict the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals at high risk, such as those who are obese, have a family history of heart disease, have high cholesterol, or have had similar health issues in the past. Apolipoprotein A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), and its increased concentrations are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B is the primary protein associated with LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and other lipid molecules. An increase in LDL cholesterol is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, an Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio test is a key marker of developing potential cardiovascular disease (CVD) or heart-related ailments.

Apolipoprotein - A1

An Apolipoprotein - A1 test helps check the levels of Apolipoprotein A1 in your blood. Apolipoprotein A1 is the major protein for the high-density lipid (HDL), also known as “good” cholesterol and helps in its transport. Apo A1 helps the HDL to take up cholesterol from the tissues and is bound by receptors in the liver where the cholesterol is destroyed. Assessing the levels of Apolipoprotein A1 directly reflects the high-density lipoprotein levels. In this way, apolipoprotein A can help to lower your risk for cardiovascular disease.
