What it measures
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in blood. Guidelines discuss it in cardiovascular risk assessment, alongside or as an alternative to LDL cholesterol (see the evidence summary below).
Lab: Quest or Labcorp (varies by seller) · Specimen: Blood draw at a patient service center
Evidence level: Established
The 2019 ESC/EAS dyslipidaemia guideline recommends ApoB analysis for cardiovascular risk assessment, particularly in people with high triglycerides, diabetes, obesity or metabolic syndrome, or very low LDL cholesterol, and says it can be used as an alternative to LDL cholesterol (Class I, Level C). The 2018 AHA/ACC cholesterol guideline lists ApoB ≥130 mg/dL, if measured in selected individuals, as a risk-enhancing factor, while noting that measurement carries extra expense and may not be reliable in some laboratories.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay?
The IRS counts "laboratory fees that are part of medical care" as medical expenses (IRS Publication 502), and defines medical care as the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. Whether a particular at-home test qualifies depends on that and on your plan's rules, so check with your HSA or FSA administrator before paying.
Why do prices differ so much?
Sellers set their own prices for the same lab's kit and may bundle practitioner authorization, consultations, shipping or add-ons. The table shows the price and any separately listed fees as posted on each seller's public page on the date checked.
How current are these prices?
All prices were checked on Oct 20, 2026. Prices and availability (including state restrictions) change; confirm on the seller's page before ordering.
