What is the Apo A1 Test?

Apo A1 is the main protein in HDL, the so-called good cholesterol. It helps carry cholesterol away from artery walls to the liver. The test measures how much of it is in your blood and gives an added view of heart risk beyond HDL cholesterol alone.

What your Apo A1 Test result means

Low

Usually goes with low HDL and is linked with higher risk of heart disease. Causes include smoking, obesity, diabetes, high triglycerides, inactivity and some inherited conditions.

Normal or high

Generally favourable for heart risk. A very high level is uncommon and is read with the rest of the lipid profile.

One result is not a diagnosis. A doctor reads it with your symptoms, history, medicines and other tests.
