{"product_id":"apob-test","title":"ApoB Lab Test – At-Home Sampling","description":"\u003cp\u003eDo you want to measure ApoB to complement your standard cholesterol readings? With the ApoB test, you collect a capillary blood sample at home and receive a quantitative laboratory result digitally. ApoB is found in several lipoprotein particles that can contribute to atherosclerosis; it is therefore used for a more detailed assessment of blood lipids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe test at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSample collection entirely at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapillary blood from the fingertip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative laboratory result\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality assurance according to Rili-BÄK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital result in your personal health portal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat does the test measure?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApolipoprotein B (ApoB)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApoB is a structural protein found in LDL and other atherogenic lipoprotein particles.
