Test Overview
Lipoprotein is a lipid and protein component found in the blood. It helps to transport the cholesterol through the blood to the cells. It is of two types high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the low density lipoprotein (LDL). Lipoprotein (a) is a type of LDL that carries the cholesterol to the cells in the arteries. High levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases.
Lp(a) is also known as lipoprotein(a). It carries cholesterol throughout the body. Blood clots or plaques in the arteries are more likely to form when Lp(a) levels are high. Lp(a) can raise the cardiovascular disease risk as a result of this impact. Controlling total cholesterol can help lower this risk.
Whether a person has high Lp(a) levels appears to be influenced by genetic factors. There is some proof, nevertheless, that their nutrition and way of life may also have an impact on them. To fully comprehend how lifestyle and dietary choices affect high Lp(a) levels, more research is required. According to research, Lp(a) levels are increased in roughly 20% of the world's population. If a doctor has a suspicion that a patient's Lp(a) levels could be high, they can perform a blood test to find out.
Lp(a) serum testing is done to determine the blood's amount of lipoprotein (a).
