Apolipoprotein A-1 Test

The Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1) test is a

medical examination that measures the levels of Apo A-1, a protein associated

with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. This test helps

assess an individual’s risk of heart disease and cardiovascular health. Higher

Apo A-1 levels are generally linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, as HDL

cholesterol is considered “good” cholesterol that helps remove excess

cholesterol from arteries. The results aid healthcare providers in evaluating

cardiovascular risk and guiding preventive measures or treatment as needed.
