ApoB, Apolipoprotein B-100, Apo B Lipoprotein
24 hours
Immunoturbidimetric Assay
<90 mg/dL
In addition to the classical HDL/LDL‐cholesterol determination, a low level of Apo A‑1 (HDL) and a high level of Apo B (LDL) correlates with increased risk for diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
Results are reported in Conventional Units (mg/dL).
Accredited NRL Laboratory
Daily
Assessment of cardiovascular risk and for following-up persons with abnormal lipid profile results that are inconsistent with risk factors or the clinical presentation. It is also useful to determine cardiac risk factors in individuals with significant family histories of coronary artery disease or other increased risk factors.
Serum or Plasma (Li-Hep)
1 mL
Gel-barrier tube or Red-top tube or Green-top (Heparin) tube
No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat, drink, and take your medications as normal, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
Samples should be sent to the laboratory as soon as possible after collection. If this is not possible, samples should be centrifuged and transported refrigerated (2 to 8°C).
