The Apolipoprotein B (APO_B) test measures a single protein that reflects the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles in a venous blood sample. It is intended for people who wish to gauge cardiovascular risk associated with LDL and other bad cholesterol particles. The service costs £65 plus a £35 phlebotomy fee when not booked with a consultation, and results are delivered within the clinic’s usual turnaround period.
About this treatment
The Apolipoprotein B (APO_B) test quantifies the level of Apo B, the primary protein found on low‑density lipoprotein (LDL), very‑low‑density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate‑density lipoprotein particles, which are considered atherogenic. By drawing a standard venous blood sample, the laboratory provides a numeric result that may support an evaluation of heart disease risk, especially when used alongside traditional lipid panels. The test is priced at…

Adults assessing atherogenic lipoprotein risk
Biomarkers tested
1The primary protein on LDL and VLDL particles. Each atherogenic lipoprotein particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule, making it a direct measure of the number of particles that can enter artery walls. Considered a superior predictor of cardiovascular risk compared to LDL cholesterol.
