Apolipoprotein A-1 Test
Apolipoprotein A-1 (also known as Apo A-1) has been suggested as a better discriminator of coronary artery disease (CAD) than HDL. Apo A-1 comprises 60% to 70% of the protein content of HDL. Apo A-1 serves as an activator of LCAT which is involved in the transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver where it is degraded. Decreased serum HDL cholesterol levels have been reported to correlate with increased risk of (CAD). Apo A-1 levels also correlate with survival rates or risk factors for patients with myocardial infarction and peripheral vascular disease. Measurement of Apo A-1 may also aid in the diagnosis of Tangier disease (absence of alpha-lipoprotein).
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation
by your physician.
