Common questions
When is ApoB useful?
ApoB can add context when LDL cholesterol and particle burden disagree. The 2026 ACC/AHA guideline supports selective use, including in some people with high triglycerides, type 2 diabetes or established cardiovascular disease.
Do I need ApoB and LDL particle size?
ApoB and LDL size answer different questions. Start with your lipid panel and ask what treatment decision an additional particle measurement would change.
