Information
What is Lipoprotein?
Lipoprotein(a) usually abbreviated as Lp(a) is a type of lipoprotein found in the blood. Lipoproteins are molecules that carry fats and cholesterol through the bloodstream. Lp(a) is of particular interest because high levels of Lp(a) in the blood have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease including heart attacks and strokes.
Lp(a) measures:
The level of Lp(a): This is the primary measurement that shows the level of Lp(a) in the blood. It is usually expressed in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or micromolar per liter (µmol/L).
Cardiovascular disease risk: By measuring Lp(a) levels, one can assess a person's increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.
Effect of treatment: If a person has high Lp(a) levels and receives treatment to lower them, measurements can be used to evaluate the effect of the treatment and see if Lp(a) (a) levels decrease to more favorable levels.
Genetic predisposition: Lp(a) levels have a genetic component, and measurements can help determine whether an individual has inherited high Lp(a) levels, which can be relevant to their heart health and risk assessment.
It is important to note that Lp(a) is a biomarker used to assess risk and impact on heart health, and that high Lp (a) levels do not necessarily mean that a person will develop cardiovascular disease. It is one of several factors that may contribute to the risk of such diseases, and risk assessment should include other clinical factors and genetic information. Therefore, it is always best to discuss your results and risks with your doctor.
Heart and blood vessel biomarkers are specific substances or indicators that can be measured in the blood to evaluate the health and function of the cardiovascular system. These biomarkers provide valuable information about the risk, diagnosis, and management of various heart and blood vessel conditions.
