Apolipoprotein A2 is a protein component of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), also known as the "good" cholesterol. Apo A2 plays a role in fat metabolism and can influence the enzymatic activity involved in the conversion of dietary fats. Although it is less prominent than Apo A1, Apo A2 contributes to the stability and functionality of HDL particles in the blood.
Testing for Apo A2 can provide insight into the composition and functionality of HDL cholesterol, which can help in evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease. It may be particularly important for individuals with a known history of heart disease or for whom standard cholesterol tests provide insufficient information about their risk profile.
Apo A2 levels can help in assessing the quality of HDL cholesterol and the effectiveness of the body's cholesterol transport mechanism. This can offer additional insights beyond traditional cholesterol measurements.
A high level of Apo A2 may indicate a healthy composition of HDL cholesterol, which can potentially lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the interpretation of Apo A2 levels must always be considered in combination with other lipid values and risk factors.
A low level of Apo A2 may indicate a less favorable composition of HDL cholesterol or disturbances in fat metabolism, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Answers to what people usually want to know.
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.
It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.
We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

“Hele fijne en snelle service”
Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!
“Bloedcheckup levert”
Waar ziekenhuizen moeilijk doen om checkup te doen , komt Bloedcheckup naar boven drijven als vertrouwde partner op gebied van gezondheid. Ik ben uiterst tevreden met bloed checkup
“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”
Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.
“Snelle en goede service”
Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl
“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”
Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D
“My experience was very positive”
My experience was very positive. I needed to pass several very specific tests. They provide 24/7 customer support. They were friendly and prompt.
“Top!”
Snelle en makkelijke afhandeling. Duidelijke instructies en binnen anderhalve dag al resultaat binnen. Top service!
“Amazing service!”
Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
The scientific support for this test within mainstream Dutch healthcare is limited. The test is not included in NHG/FMS standard guidelines.
Rationale for this test
ApoA2 is een component van HDL-cholesterol, maar wordt binnen de Nederlandse reguliere zorg niet standaard gebruikt voor cardiovasculaire risicobeoordeling. De NHG-Standaard Cardiovasculair Risicomanagement en FMS-richtlijnen benoemen ApoA2 niet als diagnosticum. De klinische meerwaarde boven standaard lipidenprofiel (totaal cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceriden) is onvoldoende aangetoond voor routine-gebruik.
