Apolipoprotein ApoB Test
$59 SGD
The apo B/apo A1 ratio indicates the cholesterol balance between potentially atherogenic (bad) and anti-atherogenic (good) particles.
The APOB/A1 ratio is considered by some researchers and healthcare professionals as a more accurate indicator of cardiovascular risk compared to traditional cholesterol measurements, such as LDL cholesterol or total cholesterol. An elevated APOB/A1 ratio may suggest an imbalance between atherogenic (artery-clogging) and anti-atherogenic (artery-protective) lipoproteins, which could indicate an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
By measuring the APOB/A1 ratio, healthcare professionals may gain additional insights into a person's cardiovascular risk profile, potentially helping in the assessment and management of cardiovascular disease.
