Testing for Apolipoprotein B can provide detailed information about your risk for heart disease. Each LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or ‘bad cholesterol’ particle contains one molecule of Apolipoprotein B. Therefore, measuring it can give a more accurate count of LDL particles, which can be more indicative of risk than measuring LDL cholesterol alone. High levels of Apolipoprotein B can suggest a higher risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.

The amount of Lipoprotein (a) in your blood is primarily determined by your genes and is not easily altered by lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise. High levels of this lipid particle can contribute to the buildup of plaques in arteries, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Lipoprotein (a) testing can help identify individuals who are at a higher risk due to genetic factors.

Testing insulin levels can help diagnose pre-diabetes, diabetes, and insulin resistance. In these conditions, insulin is either insufficient or ineffective at processing blood glucose. Monitoring insulin levels along with blood glucose levels can help manage these conditions and prevent long-term complications, such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney disease.

Elevated homocysteine levels can be an indicator of vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency, as these nutrients help break down homocysteine in the body. Furthermore, high homocysteine levels have been associated with an increased risk of heart disease, although it’s not entirely clear whether it is a cause or a result of the disease. Testing for homocysteine can help identify deficiencies and potentially identify a higher risk of cardiovascular issues.
