Crankin,
It is apo-lipo (known also as Apo B). I googled quickly a link for you so you can understand better. It is a "deeper" test - just blood drawn too to complete the basic blood panel used for cholesterol testing.

Our numbers seem to be different also. We don't read the 250, etc.

Total HDL/LDL is one reading. Then you have that Apo B one that is even "better" to understand where you truly are at. At least from my understanding with the doctor's discussion we had.

The total HDL/LDL is getting to be less and less a reference, at least from what my doctor said. I don't know much about all those numbers but know that we are in the right bracket. Just too high into that ok bracket so we will keep working at it. My total is at 4.1 (and max to reach to keep on "safe" side is 5.2)

the numbers in Canada are like this for basic testing. Have not checked for USA
