What is a normal ApoA1 level?
The short answer
A typical US lab prints a normal ApoA1 range for your sex: 101–199 mg/dL for women, 94–178 mg/dL for men. That range exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
Nobody we follow has said what your Apolipoprotein A-1 should be. It comes up on the shows, but never with a number.
What Apolipoprotein A-1 measures
The main protein on HDL particles — the ones that carry cholesterol away from artery walls.
It counts those particles, not the cholesterol they carry.
Common questions
What is a normal Apolipoprotein A-1 level?
Most US labs print 101–199 mg/dL. Your report grades you against that range. It exists to catch disease, not to describe your best. Labs print different ranges by sex: about 101–199 mg/dL for women and 94–178 for men.
What does your Apolipoprotein A-1 number mean?
On a typical lab range, under 101 mg/dL is low, 101 to 199 is normal and over 199 is high. Your own report prints its range next to your number, and that is the one your lab uses. Nobody we follow has drawn a line inside that range. Labs print different ranges by sex: about 101–199 mg/dL for women and 94–178 for men.
What does the Apolipoprotein A-1 test measure?
The main protein on HDL particles — the ones that carry cholesterol away from artery walls. It counts those particles, not the cholesterol they carry.
Why is there no target here?
Because nobody we follow has named a number for Apolipoprotein A-1. If that changes, it will be here.
