Details
Know More About This Test
The Lipoprotein A (Lp A), Serum test measures the level of lipoprotein(a) in the blood. Lipoprotein(a), also called Lp(a), is a cholesterol-related particle that can increase the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. Unlike routine cholesterol values, Lp(a) is largely influenced by genetics and may stay elevated even in people with otherwise normal lipid levels.
Why Is This Test Recommended?
This test may be recommended to:
assess inherited cardiovascular risk
evaluate people with a family history of early heart disease or stroke
investigate cardiovascular disease despite normal routine lipid values
support risk assessment in patients with high cholesterol or recurrent heart problems
help guide further preventive care in high-risk individuals
What Do the Results Indicate?
High Lp(a): may suggest increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, or blocked arteries
Normal Lp(a): suggests lower inherited risk from this marker, though other heart risk factors still matter
Results should always be interpreted along with lipid profile, symptoms, family history, and medical advice.
How Is the Test Performed and Prepared For?
A blood sample is collected from a vein in the arm. Fasting for 10–12 hours may be preferred, especially if this test is done along with other lipid tests.
