Apolipoprotein A in Serum

Apolipoprotein A (ApoA) is a major component of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), often referred to as "good cholesterol." It plays a vital role in lipid metabolism by helping to remove excess cholesterol from tissues and transport it to the liver. Low levels of ApoA may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, while normal or elevated levels are associated with cardiovascular protection.

How to prepare for an ApoA test?

• Avoid consuming food or beverages (except water) for at least 8-12 hours before the test.
• Refrain from alcohol and heavy meals the day before the test.
• Inform medical staff about any ongoing medications, as they may affect the test results.
