ApoB Blood Test
May 12, 2026
ApoB Blood Test
An ApoB (apolipoprotein B) blood test measures the actual number of atherogenic particles in your blood—each LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a) particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule, making it a direct count of particles that can enter artery walls and cause atherosclerosis, and a better predictor of cardiovascular events than standard LDL cholesterol testing.
At Blood Test London, ApoB testing costs from £295 with results in 2-3 days. A doctor always reviews every result.
Why ApoB Is Better Than LDL
The Problem with LDL Cholesterol
Scenario | LDL-C | ApoB | True Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
Person A | 3.0 mmol/L | 0.8 g/L | Lower |
Person B | 3.0 mmol/L | 1.2 g/L | Higher |
Same LDL cholesterol, different particle counts, different risk.
