Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Apolipoprotein A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol and higher levels correlate with reduced cardiovascular disease risk. Apolipoprotein B-100 is the primary protein associated with LDL and other atherogenic lipid particles, and elevated levels correlate with increased cardiovascular risk. The ApoB/A1 ratio provides an integrated metric correlating with cardiovascular disease risk.
