This test measures the amount of Apolipoprotein B, a key protein found in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol particles. High ApoB levels mean there are more cholesterol-carrying particles in your blood, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Because ApoB counts each potentially harmful particle, it’s often a more accurate indicator of cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol tests.

About these tests
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB):
ApoB is the main structural protein found in atherogenic lipoproteins — including LDL, VLDL, IDL, and lipoprotein(a). Each of these particles carries one ApoB molecule, meaning the ApoB level directly reflects the total number of cholesterol-carrying particles that can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries. Elevated ApoB indicates an increased number of LDL and related particles, which are strongly linked to a higher risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Measuring ApoB provides a more precise assessment of heart disease risk than standard LDL cholesterol alone.

The ApoB test provides a clearer picture of your heart disease risk than standard cholesterol tests. While traditional lipid panels measure how much cholesterol is in your blood, ApoB shows how many LDL and other “bad” cholesterol particles are circulating — the particles that actually cause plaque buildup in arteries. If you have normal cholesterol but elevated ApoB, your risk of cardiovascular disease can still be high. This makes the ApoB test valuable for anyone wanting a more precise, modern assessment of heart and metabolic health, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or abnormal lipid levels.
