The main protein in HDL — paired with ApoB, the ApoB/ApoA-1 ratio is one of the strongest lipid predictors of heart attack risk. Apolipoprotein A-1 is the primary structural protein of HDL particles and reflects how many 'good' cholesterol-carrying particles are circulating, which a plain HDL-C number does not. Its real value comes alongside ApoB: the ApoB/ApoA-1 ratio compares atherogenic particles to protective ones and, in large studies such as INTERHEART, predicted heart attack risk better than LDL-C or total cholesterol. Low ApoA-1 can accompany metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and some genetic HDL disorders; it is most informative when tracked over time with ApoB and a standard lipid panel. ## Biomarkers measured - [Apolipoprotein A-1](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/apolipoprotein-a-1) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $29.99 | $35.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.
