Test Overview
Apolipoproteins are proteins that attach to the lipids to transport the cholesterol through the blood. Two types of Apolipoproteins are mainly measured, Apolipoprotein A and Apolipoprotein B. Apolipoprotein A is mainly attached to HDL (good cholesterol) and mainly helps to eliminate the bad cholesterol from the blood. Apolipoprotein B attaches to LDL (bad cholesterol) and contributes to heart diseases by leading to formation of plaques or clogging of arteries.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) are two forms of apolipoproteins (proteins found in lipoproteins) that transport fats like cholesterol in the blood.
ApoB, also known as beta-lipoprotein, is mostly found in low-density lipoproteins (LDL). It is often known as "bad cholesterol" because high LDL cholesterol levels are linked with a higher risk of heart disease.
ApoA1, also known as alpha-lipoprotein, is predominantly found in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). It is sometimes referred to as "good cholesterol" because high levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
Who requires Apolipoprotein B/A1 (ApoB/A1) test?
- Individuals who are at risk for heart diseases such as those with high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease.
- Patients with a medical history of heart diseases, such as a heart attack or stroke.
- Patients suffering from metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus or obesity.
- Patients taking lipid-lowering medications such as statins or fibrates.
- Testing for liver disease or metabolic disorders.
- Monitoring lipid levels after making lifestyle changes or receiving treatment for lipid disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors usually order both an apo A-I (associated with HDL (HDL), the "good" cholesterol) and an apo B regulate an apo B/apo A-I ratio. This ratio is utilised as an alternate to a total cholesterol/HDL ratio to assess the risk for developing CVD.
Apo B levels could also be ordered to inspect the effectiveness of lipid treatment as substitute to non-HDL-C (non-HDL-C is the total cholesterol concentration minus the amount of HDL).
Your doctor may recommend this test for you if he suspects that you may have an increased chance of heart disease. You may need this test if you have had a heart attack in the past.
Apo-A is a protein that plays a vital role in lipid metabolism, and is one of the important components attached to HDL or “good cholesterol”. HDL performs a critical role in removing excess of cholesterol from the cells, transporting it to liver where its gets recycled or disposed. Thus, the amount of APO-A present in the blood directly correlates to the HDL levels, and similarly, deficiencies of APO-A is associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Similar to Apo-lipoprotein A1, Apo B is also a protein that is involved in the metabolism of lipids and is the main protein constituent of lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and LDL (LDL, the "bad cholesterol"). Concentrations of Apo B are directly proportional to LDL-C.
