About This Test
Apo A 1 and Apo B are useful in the evaluation of risk for atherosclerotic disease.
Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is a major protein component of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) comprising >90% of the LDL proteins and constituting 20% to 25% of the total weight of LDL.Apo B levels are useful in suspected abetalipoproteinemia or hypobetalipoproteinemia.Studies have shown that the Apo A-1: Apo B ratio distinguishes unequivocally between persons with and those without CHD. Therefore, Apolipoprotein A-1 and B studies are superior to conventional Total cholesterol or HDL- & LDL- cholesterol studies for predicting risk of Atherosclerosis. It is now proved in case studies that individuals with angiographically confirmed heart disease have significantly lower Apo A-1 and higher Apo B levels compared to normal persons.
