The Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] Test is a blood test that measures the level of lipoprotein (a), a type of cholesterol particle in the blood. Lp(a) is similar to LDL (“bad cholesterol”) but contains an additional protein called apolipoprotein (a).
High levels of Lp(a) are considered a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Unlike other lipid components, Lp(a) levels are largely determined by genetics and are not significantly affected by diet or lifestyle.
The purpose of this test is to:
- Measure Lipoprotein (a) levels in the blood
- Assess genetic risk for cardiovascular disease
- Identify individuals at higher risk despite normal lipid levels
- Support preventive and personalized treatment strategies
