AN OVERVIEW
About Apolipoprotein A1 Test
Why is the Apolipoprotein A1 Test done?
The Apolipoprotein A1 Test in Mumbai is done for various purposes. Most notably, the Apolipoprotein A1 Test is done to find whether a patient’s body is producing adequate amounts of Apolipoprotein A1 or not. This could point towards the reason behind some symptoms the patient is experiencing. It is also helpful in finding out the possibility of cardiovascular diseases. The test is most commonly ordered if the patient has low HDL-C (High-Density Lipoprotein).
What does Apolipoprotein A1 Test measure?
The Apolipoprotein A1 Test in Mumbai measures the concentration of Apolipoprotein A1 in the patient’s blood. Apolipoprotein A1 is required to carry lipids through the bloodstream. Lipids are organic substances that do not dissolve in the blood, but instead, keep floating on top. Apolipoproteins combine with these lipids to form lipoprotein, which is then transported through the bloodstream. So, they essentially are carriers of lipids through the blood.
Risks/side effects of Apolipoprotein A1 Test
Since the Apolipoprotein A1 Test in Mumbai is conducted through a blood test, patients can feel pain in their arm from where the blood is drawn. They may also experience bruising at the site of the needle prick or excessive bleeding or hematoma in certain cases. Dizziness and lightheadedness are other common side effects of a blood test. However, all these symptoms are normal and recover on their own.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting Apolipoprotein A1 Test Results
If a patient’s blood contains low amounts of Apolipoprotein A1, this indicates an insufficiency in clearing the excessive cholesterol in the body. On the contrary, high levels of Apolipoprotein A1 are often considered protective.
People with genetic disorders may naturally have low levels of Apolipoprotein A1 in their blood. Low levels of Apolipoprotein A1 means that there are low levels of High-Density Lipoproteins in the body. Other possible causes of Apolipoprotein A1 deficiency include kidney diseases, obesity, drugs (including beta-blockers), diabetes and smoking. All of these can cause low levels of Apolipoprotein A1 and thereby, low levels of High-Density Lipoproteins.
