What is Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum?

This test is ordered by your healthcare practitioner to evaluate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. These tests are mainly ordered when a person has a personal or family history of heart disease and/or abnormal lipid levels or significantly elevated triglyceride levels. It is also used as a part of regular check up along with lipid profile.

What does Apolipoproteins A1 & B Serum measure?

Contains 3 tests

Following tests are a part of Apolipoprotein A1 and B serum:

Apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) is a protein that plays an important role in the transportation and metabolism of lipids and is the main protein component in high-density lipoprotein. Apo A-I is ordered in someone who has a personal or family history of abnormal lipid levels and/or premature cardiovascular disease. It may be ordered when your doctor is trying to determine the cause of a person's high cholesterol.

Apolipoprotein B/ Apolipoprotein A1 Ratio helps in evaluating your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD); It is also used to monitor treatment for high cholesterol. This test is not widely used for a screening test but may be ordered if a person has a family history of heart disease and/or high cholesterol and triglycerides (hyperlipidemia).

Apolipoprotein B may be measured, along with an apo A-I or other lipid tests, when your doctor is trying to evaluate someone's risk of developing CVD and when a person has a personal or family history of heart disease and/or abnormal lipid levels, especially when the person has significantly elevated triglyceride levels.
