ApoB

Counts the particles that can carry cholesterol into artery walls.

Commonly used laboratory range — confirm with the lab.Ranges vary by method. Optimal bands can be narrower than standard laboratory reference ranges; this one is widely used, not a target set for you.

Particles, not only the cholesterol inside them, are what lodge in artery walls. When LDL cholesterol and ApoB disagree, ApoB usually tells the clearer story about long-term risk.

A laboratory range gives context, not a diagnosis.

Santé explains what a biomarker measures; it does not tell you what to take or do. Your clinician does.

In your account

One value is a snapshot. Three are a direction.

When ApoB is in a panel you take, each result sits beside the last — so you see the direction, not just the day.

A protein that sits on every LDL, VLDL, IDL and Lp(a) particle — exactly one per particle. Measuring it counts those particles directly.
