Apo A is a protein carried in HDL ("good") cholesterol. It helps start the process for HDL to remove bad types of cholesterol from your body. In this way, apolipoprotein A can help to lower your risk for cardiovascular disease.

Apolipoprotein A1

Apo B containing lipoproteins are the ones most likely to enter the wall of the arteries. They are capable of trafficking cholesterol into the artery wall, and if present in increased numbers may be the main initiating factor in atherosclerosis. 

Apolipoprotein B

The apo B/apo A-1 ratio indicates the cholesterol balance between potentially atherogenic (bad) and antiatherogenic (good) particles. The ratio is strongly related to risk of cardiovascular disease.

ApoA1/ B Ratio

High levels of Lp(a) increase your risk of atherosclerosis and is an inherited genetic condition. As levels are genetically determined they are usually not lowered by lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. Your level of Lp(a) remains virtually constant throughout your life.

Lipoprotein (a)

ApoA1 and ApoB give a detailed view of cholesterol balance — ApoA1 reflects protective HDL particles, while ApoB represents atherogenic LDL particles that promote plaque build-up. The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk, offering more precision than standard cholesterol tests. Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a genetic marker that can elevate heart disease risk even when other lipid levels are normal. Measuring both provides early insight into hidden or inherited cardiovascular risks, guiding targeted prevention.

Lipoproteins

Total cholesterol measures the combined amount of HDL and LDL cholesterol in the blood and is essential for cell structure, hormone production, and vitamin D metabolism.

Total Cholesterol

LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because high levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.

VLDL is considered "bad" cholesterol because high levels can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. VLDL also has important functions in the body, such as providing energy to cells and helping to transport fat-soluble vitamins.

VLDL

HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol, as it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and can protect against the development of heart disease. 

Triglycerides are a form of stored fat used for energy. Elevated levels are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Triglycerides

Non-HDL cholesterol is considered an effective lipid measurement for assessing cardiovascular disease risk as it is believed to reflect levels of 'bad' cholesterol.

Non-HDL Cholesterol

LDL-1 is the largest and least dense subtype of LDL, and it has a buoyant density. LDL-1 is less likely to penetrate the arterial wall and contribute to the formation of plaque compared to smaller, denser LDL subfractions.

LDL-1

LDL-2 is the second largest and second least dense subtype of LDL, and it also has a buoyant density.

LDL-2

Presence of small highly atherogenic dense Low Density Lipoprotein 3 through 7 are associated with 3 times greater risk for coronary artery disease independent of other risk factors.

LDL-3

Presence of small highly atherogenic dense Low Density Lipoprotein 3 through 7 are associated with 3 times greater risk for coronary artery disease independent of other risk factors.


LDL-4

LDL-5

LDL-6

LDL-7 is the smallest and densest subtype of LDL and has the highest atherogenicity, meaning it poses the greatest risk for contributing to the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. 

LDL-7

Intermediate Density Lipoprotein is a class of lipoproteins formed in the degradation of VLDLs. 


Mid C

Mid B

Intermediate Density Lipoprotein is a class of lipoproteins formed in the degradation of VLDLs.

Mid A

A low LDL mean particle size indicates the presence of LDLs of a size capable of penetrating the endothelial lining and causing the development of atheromatous plaques.

Mean LDL Particle Size

Risk is based on mean LDL particle size. Note that risk factors other than mean particle size may still require medical intervention.

Coronary Risk

Your lipid subfraction profile looks beyond total cholesterol to assess the size and density of LDL particles, offering a clearer view of cardiovascular risk. Larger, more buoyant LDL particles (LDL-1 and LDL-2) are generally protective, while smaller, denser particles (LDL-3 to LDL-7) are more likely to penetrate artery walls and promote plaque formation. By analysing the balance between these subfractions and your mean LDL particle size, this test provides a precise indication of how your cholesterol behaves — revealing whether your lipid profile supports heart health or signals a higher risk of atherosclerosis.

LDL Particle Subfractions

A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test measures low levels of CRP and may be used to help evaluate an individual for risk of cardiovascular disease

High sensitivity CRP

Homocysteine is an amino acid involved in the methylation process. High levels can indicate a deficiency in vitamin B6, B12, or folate and are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and blood vessel damage.

Homocysteine

While fibrinogen levels are elevated, they may increase the risk of developing a blood clot and over time this can contribute to an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease.

Fibrinogen

Inflammation Markers

If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.

Fasting glucose

Blood glucose is generated from carbohydrates and to use this fuel for energy your body needs insulin. With type 2 diabetes the cells either ignore the insulin or the body doesn't produce enough of it. Glucose then builds up leading to problems with the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels.

Blood Glucose

Iron measures the amount of circulating iron in your blood, which is essential for energy production, oxygen transport, and healthy red blood cell formation. Low or high levels can indicate iron deficiency, inflammation, or iron overload disorders such as haemochromatosis.

Iron

Transferrin is the main protein that binds and transports iron through your bloodstream, helping regulate how much iron is available to your cells. Levels may rise when your body needs more iron, such as in deficiency, or fall in inflammation or certain health conditions that affect protein production.

Transferrin/ TIBC

Iron saturation shows the percentage of iron bound to transferrin, your blood’s main iron transport protein. It helps identify whether your body has too little or too much available iron, supporting the diagnosis of iron deficiency, inflammation, or iron overload conditions.
