Apolipoprotein

What Does This Test Check?

The Apolipoprotein Profile measures apolipoprotein B, or ApoB, a direct marker of the number of particles that carry cholesterol and a strong indicator of heart risk.

Just one test sits on this page, the Medichecks Apolipoprotein Profile Blood Test at £89. There is no rival provider here to compare against, so the choice comes down to whether a focused heart-risk marker suits you.

ApoB may indicate your risk of artery buildup, but it is one piece of a wider heart picture and the result should be weighed up with a GP alongside cholesterol and blood pressure.
