TRTRead the whole profile
HDL-C, LDL-C and triglycerides describe different parts of the lipid panel. ApoB can add information about the number of atherogenic particles. A clinician can put the pattern together with blood pressure, family history and other risk factors.
What the prospective evidence shows
In the HAARLEM cohort, men using nonprescribed androgens had higher LDL-C and ApoB and lower HDL-C during exposure. This was an observational study in a specific population. Bring changes in lipids and blood pressure to your clinician even when your hormone results look steady.
