APOLIPOPROTEIN - B (APO-B)*

Indication: Evaluates cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Why it's needed: A complete test for assessing cardiovascular risk, including HDL, LDL, VLDL, and total cholestero

Indication: Marker of severe inflammation, often used in COVID-19, sepsis, and autoimmune diseases. Why it's needed: High IL-6 levels may indicate cytokine storm or disease severity in inflammatory conditions.

Indication: Evaluates low-grade inflammation, especially in cardiac risk assessment. Why it's needed: Elevated hs-CRP levels are associated with heart disease, stroke, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Indication: Evaluates cardiovascular health as it relates to HDL cholesterol. Why it's needed: Higher Apo-A1 levels are protective; low levels may indicate heart disease risk.

Indication: Assesses heart failure and cardiac stress. Why it's needed: Elevated BNP indicates fluid overload and helps differentiate cardiac from non-cardiac causes of breathlessness.

Indication: Evaluates risk of heart disease. Why it's needed: Includes markers like hs-CRP, Apo A1, Apo B, Lipoprotein (a), and Homocysteine. These help predict future heart attack or stroke risk.

Indication: Cardiac biomarker released during heart muscle injury. Why it's needed: Critical test to confirm or rule out heart attack (MI).

Indication: Measures bad cholesterol directly. Why it's needed: Elevated LDL is a major risk factor for heart disease and atherosclerosis.

Indication: Measures tissue damage and cell breakdown. Why it's needed: Elevated in conditions like heart attack, liver disease, hemolysis, and cancer.
