Apolipoprotein B Test – Evaluate Your Risk of Developing a CVD – Home Testkit – CLIA Certified Laboratory Analysis – Verisana

Evaluate your risk of developing a cardiovascular disease (CVD) When you have a personal or family history of heart disease or high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, getting your Apo B levels tested on a regular basis helps you to evaluate your risk of developing a CVD. But Apo B can do more. It also helps you monitor the effects of your treatment for high cholesterol. Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) plays an important role in the metabolism of lipids. It combines with lipids to transport them and delivering them to different locations within the body. Lipids are vital for cell membrane integrity and hormone production. In excess, however, they can lead to plaques in artery walls which narrow the vessels in a process called atherosclerosis. This atherosclerotic process then increases the risk of heart attack. Elevated levels of Apo B are therefore associated with high amounts of lipids and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Increased levels of Apo B can be caused by:DiabetesHypothyroidismDrugs like androgens, beta blockers, diuretics or progestins (synthetic progesterone) Pregnancy (levels increase temporarily and decrease again after delivery) Decreased levels of Apo B can be caused by:Drugs like estrogen (in post-menopausal women), lovastatin, niacin, or thyroxineHyperthyroidismMalnutritionCirrhosisSevere illness/ surgeryHow does it work?You collect a sample from the comfort of your home, send it to our lab and can conveniently download your results in our portal.
