ApoB / ApoA1 with NMR Lipoprotein Particle Profile
Nuclear magnetic resonance lipoprotein fractionation with apolipoprotein quantification. Particularly informative where standard cholesterol appears acceptable but metabolic risk is suspected — discordance between LDL-C and particle count is common.
