What is the purpose of this test?
The Advanced Cholesterol Profile, Serum - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit provides a more detailed evaluation of cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk compared to standard lipid panels. This advanced test measures not only total cholesterol but also specific markers like Apolipoprotein A-I (APO A-1), Apolipoprotein B (APO B), Lipoprotein (a) (LP (A)), and homocysteine. These biomarkers offer a deeper understanding of how your body processes fats and cholesterol, which can indicate the presence of dyslipidemia or other underlying risk factors for heart disease.
By identifying imbalances and risks early, this test empowers you to take proactive steps to improve your heart health. The results can help you and your healthcare provider create a personalized plan to address cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and manage other factors that may contribute to cardiovascular issues. Whether you have a family history of heart disease or are simply looking to improve your long-term wellness, this test provides critical insights for a healthier future.
The Advanced Cholesterol Profile, Serum - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit includes:
- Total Cholesterol: Measures the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.
- Apolipoprotein A-I (APO A-1): Assesses levels of this protein, which helps remove cholesterol from your arteries.
- Apolipoprotein B (APO B): Tracks levels of this protein, which carries bad cholesterol and can increase plaque buildup.
- Lipoprotein (A) (LP (A)): Evaluates this genetic marker linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
- Homocysteine: Monitors this amino acid, which can indicate inflammation and cardiovascular risk when elevated.
Who should get this test?
- Individuals with a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol.
- Those who have had abnormal results on a standard lipid panel.
- People with conditions like diabetes, obesity, or high blood pressure.
- Individuals looking to assess their cardiovascular risk factors more comprehensively.
- Anyone aiming to create a personalized strategy for improving heart health.
