Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test in Bangalore
Looking to book an Apolipoprotein A and B test in Bangalore? Read below to find out about apolipoproteins.
Apolipoproteins are the proteins that are used for carrying or transporting lipids through the bloodstream. Lipids are fats, starch and cholesterol which do not dissolve in the blood, and, as such, need to be transported. Apolipoproteins combine with lipids and then carry them to various cells. They also help in maintaining cholesterol levels. An imbalance in the normal concentrations of Apolipoproteins can indicate a risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, these tests are most often ordered along with other lipid tests or complete lipid profiles.

AN OVERVIEW
About Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test
Why is the Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test done?
The Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test is done to check for the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the doctor may also order the test to see the effectiveness of any lipid treatments that the patient may be undergoing. This would help in deciding the further course of action: whether the treatment should be continued or changed.
What does the Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test measure?
Apolipoprotein B is the major protein component in low-density lipoproteins, commonly known as bad cholesterol. Apolipoprotein A1, on the other hand, is the primary protein component in High-Density Lipoprotein, commonly known as good cholesterol. This test is used to measure the ratio of these two Apolipoproteins in the blood to know whether a healthy balance is maintained or not. If Apolipoprotein B is higher than Apolipoprotein A1, then the patient is at a higher than normal risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Risks/side effects of Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test
This test has no real risks or side effects as it is done through a simple blood draw. However, the patient may feel pain in the arm (the blood is drawn from the arm), or experience bruising where the needle is pricked, or in rare cases, may even experience hematoma. He/she may also feel dizzy or lightheaded right after the blood is drawn out.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting Apolipoprotein B: Apolipoprotein A1 (APO B: APO A1) Ratio Test Results
The results of this test may be considered, along with additional tests and the patient’s family history. A normal ratio between the two kinds of proteins shows that the patient is not at risk for cardiovascular disease. However, if Apolipoprotein B is in a higher ratio than Apolipoprotein A1, it can indicate a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, lower levels would indicate the possibility of polyneuropathy.
If the levels of Apolipoprotein A1 protein are low, it can point towards coronary artery disease. If the levels are extremely low, it can indicate a genetic issue or liver disease.
