Apolipoprotein A1

£27.00
This add-on measures apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1), the main protein in HDL cholesterol. Low levels may signal higher heart disease risk—even without clear symptoms. Please note that this add-on requires a longer processing time—results will be available within 6 business days.

About this test

  • Fatigue or low stamina
  • Shortness of breath during physical activity
  • Chest discomfort or heaviness
  • Poor circulation or cold extremities
  • Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
  • Unexpected weight gain or trouble losing weight
  • Family history of early heart disease
  • Low HDL ("good" cholesterol) on past blood tests
  • Poor recovery from exercise or increased heart rate
  • No symptoms at all in early or mild imbalance

Recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of cardiovascular disease, low HDL cholesterol, or metabolic concerns. Ideal for those managing high cholesterol, diabetes, or at risk of heart conditions due to lifestyle, age, or genetics. Also suitable for anyone proactively monitoring their heart health, lipid balance, or response to cholesterol-lowering treatments.

  • Low HDL (“good”) cholesterol
  • Increased cardiovascular risk
  • Atherosclerosis or arterial plaque build-up
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Family history of heart disease or dyslipidaemia
  • Chronic inflammation affecting lipid metabolism
  • Response monitoring to statins or lipid-lowering therapies
  • Inherited lipid disorders (e.g. Tangier disease, familial hypoalphalipoproteinaemia)

Cardiovascular Health

Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1): A protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) involved in cholesterol transport and lipid metabolism. Why Measure: To assess cardiovascular health by evaluating HDL function and cholesterol removal efficiency, helping to determine protective factors against heart disease.
