What Is This Test?
Measures apolipoprotein B (ApoB), the main protein on LDL and other 'bad' cholesterol particles. Each harmful particle carries one ApoB.
Why this test is performed?
Counts the number of atherogenic particles and can predict heart risk better than LDL alone, especially in diabetes, high triglycerides or metabolic syndrome.
Who should take this test?
Adults over 30, people with high BP, diabetes, obesity, smoking or a family history of heart disease; chest pain or breathlessness (seek urgent care).
Test Preparation
No fasting needed.
