Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is a protein that is the main structural component of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and other atherogenic lipoprotein particles. Because each of these particles contains one Apo B molecule, measuring Apo B reflects the total number of these particles in the blood, which can add information beyond a standard cholesterol panel. This test is used to help assess cardiovascular risk related to lipoprotein particles. It may be ordered when a healthcare provider wants a more detailed picture of a person's risk than standard cholesterol measurements provide, or to monitor treatment aimed at lowering cholesterol and related particles.

Guides about Apolipoprotein B

Plain-English explanations of what this test measures and how it's done.

What blood tests do bodybuilders track?
The blood tests most often discussed in bodybuilding and strength communities fall into four groups: hormones (total and free testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, LH and FSH), general health panels (CBC and CMP), heart and metabolic markers (lipid panel, ApoB, A1c, fasting insulin), and thyroid, iron and vitamin markers. Hard training changes some of these numbers by itself, which matters when comparing results over time.
What does a lipid panel measure?
A lipid panel measures four things from a single blood sample: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It is the standard test for assessing cardiovascular risk, and it is one of the cheapest and most widely stocked tests in self-pay lab testing. Interpreting the numbers is a job for a clinician who knows your history.

Apolipoprotein B: common questions

How much does an Apolipoprotein B test cost without insurance?

The lowest self-pay price we track for Apolipoprotein B is $11.34 at Mito Health, across 17 ordering services; the highest is $89.00. You pay the ordering service directly, and no insurance is involved. Prices were last verified on September 28, 2026.

Do you need a doctor's order for an Apolipoprotein B test?

No. Every ordering service listed on this page includes the physician order with the purchase, so you can buy Apolipoprotein B yourself and take the requisition to the lab. Your results come back to you — what they mean is a conversation for you and a clinician.

Where is the blood drawn for an Apolipoprotein B test?

At a Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp patient service center, depending on which laboratory the ordering service you pick uses. You choose the location and time after you order. LabTestCompare does not draw blood, run tests, or issue results — we only compare what each service charges.

Can you use health insurance for an Apolipoprotein B test?

No. Every price on this page is a self-pay price paid directly to the ordering service, and none of these services bill insurance. If you want Apolipoprotein B billed through your plan instead, that goes through your own provider — which is a separate route with its own cost, and worth comparing against the prices here.

Is this the same Apolipoprotein B test a doctor would order?

Yes — it is the same assay, identified by the same laboratory order codes: Quest #5224 and LabCorp #167015. Every price on this page is matched to that code, which is how we can say the services are being compared on an identical test rather than on similarly named products.

How long do Apolipoprotein B results take?

That is set by the laboratory rather than by us. Routine blood tests are commonly back within a few business days and specialized assays take longer; the ordering service states the expected turnaround for Apolipoprotein B before you buy, and delivers the result to you directly.
