Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) testing provides a more comprehensive metric of cardiovascular risk than LDL‑C alone; it's particularly useful for patients with risk factors including CVD, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, or those on lipid‑lowering therapy. Quest offers this test both as a standalone option (test code 91726) and as part of multiple cardiovascular and metabolic panels, providing actionable insights for individualized risk stratification and treatment planning.
