Test Overview
What is a Lipoprotein(a) Test in Delhi?
The Lipoprotein(a) Test, also known as the Lp(a) Test, is a blood test that measures the amount of Lipoprotein(a) in your blood. Lipoprotein(a) is a type of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that contains a unique protein called apolipoprotein(a).
High levels of Lp(a) can cause cholesterol to accumulate in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, or atherosclerosis. This test is especially important for patients who have a family history of early heart disease or unexplained high cholesterol.
What Does the Lipoprotein(a) Test Measure in Delhi?
The test measures the concentration of Lipoprotein(a), which plays a significant role in cholesterol transport and plaque formation in arteries.
It helps your doctor to:
- Identify inherited risk for cardiovascular disease
- Evaluate unexplained high cholesterol levels
- Detect heart or vascular disease risk in early stages
- Plan appropriate treatment or lifestyle changes to reduce overall heart risk
Who Should Consider a Lipoprotein(a) Test in Delhi?
This test is recommended for people who:
- Have a strong family history of early heart disease or stroke
- Have high LDL cholesterol levels that do not respond to treatment
- Have had multiple heart events despite normal cholesterol results
- Have unexplained cardiovascular conditions at a young age
Your doctor may also suggest this test if your regular lipid profile results do not fully explain your heart disease risk.
Purpose of Lipoprotein(a) Test in Delhi
The main purpose of this test is to:
- Assess hereditary risk of heart disease or stroke
- Detect abnormal lipid patterns that are not captured in a routine cholesterol test
- Help identify patients who require more aggressive cholesterol control
- Monitor individuals with a family history of premature heart disease
