The Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) test is a medical
examination that measures the levels of Apo B, a protein present in low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol particles in the blood. This test provides
valuable information about cardiovascular health, as higher Apo B levels are
associated with an increased risk of heart disease. It helps healthcare
providers assess lipid-related cardiovascular risk more accurately than
traditional cholesterol measurements. Results guide treatment decisions,
lifestyle modifications, and preventive measures to reduce the risk of heart
disease.
