ApoB

Accurate diagnosis is essential for the best care of patients with lipid disorders but until recently this was not possible in routine clinical care. Now, using the apoB diagnostic algorithm, which is based on total cholesterol, triglycerides and apoB, all physicians can easily make the correct diagnosis, even in complex cases. The apoB diagnostic algorithm demonstrates which lipoproteins are elevated and what conditions could produce these abnormalities. Accurate diagnosis is key to determining which patients are at elevated cardiovascular risk and whether other family members need to be assessed.
