About the test
This price-list item concerns group B apolipoproteins, protein components of lipoproteins associated with lipid transport in blood. Individual measurements in this group may complement assessment of the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles and cardiovascular risk. The original name does not specify the measured form or components of the service, which should therefore be confirmed before ordering.
Apolipoproteins and cholesterol in the corresponding fraction are different quantities. A specific subtype or calculated ratio cannot be attributed to this item without laboratory confirmation. The doctor assesses the result together with symptoms, medical history and other investigations. The reference values of the individual laboratory are used for comparison, and changes over time are considered during follow-up.
Why it is ordered
- Complement assessment of the protein components of lipid metabolism.
- Clarify investigation of cardiovascular risk.
