Apolipoprotein B100

• Excessive bleeding
• Fainting or feeling light-headed
• Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
• Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
• Multiple punctures to locate veins

Apolipoprotein levels can be measured directly, unlike HDL and LDL measurements, which are indirect. This test may give a much more accurate picture of your health, including your risk for heart disease.

Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than others.
