Lipoprotein (a) Screening - Lipoprotein (a) Test

Measures the concentration of Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in plasma. Lp(a) is a lipoprotein particle similar to Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), but it carries a unique additional protein called apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)]. Elevated levels are associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
