Description

Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is the protein that helps transport LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol, in the body, which leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

By measuring Apolipoprotein B together with Apolipoprotein A, the ratio of these can reflect the balance between the different types of cholesterol and assess the risk of cardiovascular disease and suspicion of disturbed lipid metabolism.

This is how it works: The test is a blood test that is carried out at the selected sampling unit.

Sample response: You normally have a response within 6 banking days after taking the sample. The test answer is sent digitally to your e-mail. Together with your test results, you will receive a report in English about your values and the doctor's comment.

Remember: Bring valid identification with you when taking the sample.

Locations that offer the test:

Stockholm, Vasagatan 9, Metro entrance (T-banenedgång)

Information

About Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) and Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1)

Blood fat disorders (lipid metabolism) give an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is the protein component of LDL cholesterol, also called "the bad cholesterol". Apolipoprotein B contributes to the transport of LDL cholesterol and can cause the LDL cholesterol to get stuck in the blood vessels, which affects the walls, which then become stiff, which in itself can lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) is found in HDL cholesterol, which is our "good cholesterol" as it has anti-inflammatory properties. Apolipoprotein A1 transports excess cholesterol from our cells to the liver for burning, which contributes to reduced fat deposits in the blood vessels.

The sampling is performed by experienced staff at one of our clinics in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Test results and (including any travel certificate) are sent digitally via e-mail.
