What is APOLIPOPROTEIN A1 (Apo A)?

This blood test measures the level of Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A), the main protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often called "good" cholesterol. Apo A plays a vital role in removing excess cholesterol from your body.

Why is this test important?

Apo A levels are a strong indicator of cardiovascular health. Low levels of Apo A can suggest an increased risk of heart disease, even when total cholesterol levels appear normal. It helps in a more comprehensive assessment of lipid metabolism.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 9-12 hours is usually required. Please follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions.
