The Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1) test measures the level of Apo A-1, the main protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as “good cholesterol.” Apo A-1 plays an important role in removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and supporting cardiovascular health.
This test is used to help assess heart disease risk and provide additional insight beyond a standard cholesterol panel. Low Apo A-1 levels may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, while higher levels are generally considered protective.
