Updated
Short answer
ApoA1 is reported in mg/dL and g/L. 1 g/L = 100 mg/dL.

What is ApoA1?
Apolipoprotein A1 is the main protein on HDL particles.
BiomarkerHQ groups ApoA1 under Lipids. On lab reports it can also appear as apo a1, apo a-1, apoa-1, apolipoprotein a1 and apolipoprotein a-1.
ApoA1 units and conversion
BiomarkerHQ stores each ApoA1 result in the unit printed on the report, and charts and compares results in mg/dL.
1 g/L = 100 mg/dL
1 mg/dL = 0.01 g/L
| g/L | mg/dL |
|---|---|
| 0.8 g/L | 80 mg/dL |
| 1 g/L | 100 mg/dL |
| 1.2 g/L | 120 mg/dL |
| 1.4 g/L | 140 mg/dL |
| 1.6 g/L | 160 mg/dL |
| 1.8 g/L | 180 mg/dL |
| 2 g/L | 200 mg/dL |
| mg/dL | g/L |
|---|---|
| 80 mg/dL | 0.8 g/L |
| 100 mg/dL | 1 g/L |
| 120 mg/dL | 1.2 g/L |
| 140 mg/dL | 1.4 g/L |
| 160 mg/dL | 1.6 g/L |
| 180 mg/dL | 1.8 g/L |
| 200 mg/dL | 2 g/L |
For another value, use the lab unit converter. It converts units only and does not interpret a result.
Tracking ApoA1 over time
In BiomarkerHQ, each ApoA1 result is saved with its collection date, its unit and the reference range printed on that report. The timeline charts the results across your draws against the range from each of your own reports, and any two draws can be compared side by side.
- Keep the unit printed on each report. Convert only to compare.
- Keep each report's own range with its result. See why ranges differ between labs.
- Compare the same lab and conditions where you can. See how to compare two blood tests.
Frequently asked questions
Which units do labs report ApoA1 in?
ApoA1 is reported in mg/dL and g/L. BiomarkerHQ stores each result in the unit printed on the report and uses mg/dL for charts and comparisons.
How do I convert ApoA1 from g/L to mg/dL?
1 g/L = 100 mg/dL. For example, 1.4 g/L is 140 mg/dL.
How do I convert ApoA1 from mg/dL to g/L?
1 mg/dL = 0.01 g/L. For example, 140 mg/dL is 1.4 g/L.
Does BiomarkerHQ interpret my ApoA1 result?
No. It compares a result only with the reference range printed on your own lab report, as below, within or above, and does not say what the result means. Talk to a qualified clinician about your results.
