No common urgent flag from this test alone
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein. It helps move cholesterol and other fats in your blood. It is a main part of "bad" cholesterol. This includes LDL.
Your doctor may order this test to get a better idea of your risk for heart disease. This is especially true if you have other things that increase your risk. It also helps if regular cholesterol tests don't fully explain your risk.
Reference ranges for ApoB can vary slightly between different laboratories. Your doctor will interpret your results based on the specific lab's ranges and your overall health.
