Lipoprotein A (LP-A)

This test is not part of the routine diagnostic procedures. Physicians at Hypro Diagnostics recommend this specific test to evaluate the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart-related conditions, particularly if certain risk factors are present, such as a family history of heart disease. The assessment focuses on estimating the concentration of lipoprotein (a) in the blood, which is a crucial component of lipoproteins—a complex blend of proteins and fats responsible for transporting cholesterol in the bloodstream. By measuring lipoprotein (a) levels, this test provides valuable insights into cardiovascular health, facilitating early detection and management of potential heart-related issues.
