What the lipoprotein particle test checks
This advanced cholesterol test counts the number and size of cholesterol-carrying particles instead of only the cholesterol inside them.
What it checks
How many LDL and HDL particles are in your blood, which can differ from what a standard cholesterol test suggests.
How it works
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm at a lab. Don’t eat or drink anything but water for 8 to 12 hours before.
Good to know
It adds detail to a standard lipid panel but is not needed by most people. ApoB answers a similar question and costs less.
