Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] Test

Introduction

Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a lipoprotein structurally similar to LDL but contains an additional apolipoprotein(a). Elevated Lp(a) levels are strongly linked to atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke.

Unlike conventional lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), Lp(a) is largely genetically determined and less affected by lifestyle. Testing is particularly valuable for individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease.

Why Take an Lp(a) Test?

  • Genetic risk assessment: Elevated Lp(a) is common in families with heart disease or stroke history.
  • Atherosclerosis risk marker: High Lp(a) increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
  • Comprehensive lipid evaluation: Complements the standard lipid profile for better risk stratification.

Method & Workflow

A venous blood sample is collected to measure Lp(a). Results should be interpreted along with lipid profile, family history, lifestyle, and clinical findings.

Who Should Consider Testing?

  • Individuals with a family history of heart disease or stroke
  • Relatives of patients with premature heart attack or stroke
  • Patients with abnormal lipids poorly controlled by standard therapy
  • Those seeking a full cardiovascular risk assessment

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does high Lp(a) mean?
A: It indicates a higher cardiovascular risk but does not guarantee disease development.

Q2: Can diet or exercise lower Lp(a)?
A: Not significantly. Lp(a) is mainly genetic, and management relies on medical advice and monitoring.

Q3: Should I repeat the Lp(a) test regularly?
A: High-risk or family-history individuals are advised to test periodically under medical supervision.
