Understanding Lipoprotein A in Dehradun


What is Lipoprotein A in Dehradun?

The Lipoprotein A is a blood test that measures the level of lipoprotein A which is a mixture of fat and protein and is a type of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol. This test helps in the assessment of cardiovascular risk and helps in the diagnosis of heart attack, stroke, etc. It can be also done if your doctor suspects you of having familial hypercholesterolemia, a hereditary disorder causing high levels of bad cholesterol. Additionally, it can be done if you have previously had a heart attack or stroke or if your cholesterol and LDL levels are highly elevated. This test is available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs.

The Lipoprotein A is not intended to be a routine screening test and should be done if you have already been identified to be at higher risk of cardiovascular problems. 

No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some of them could impact the test results. 

What does Lipoprotein A measure?

The Lipoprotein A test measures the amount of lipoprotein A (Lp-A) particles in your blood. Lipoprotein A is a mixture of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and a protein called apolipoprotein a. Lp-A levels are largely determined by genetics. Lp-A levels are not significantly affected by diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes, unlike other types of cholesterol. That is why testing for Lp-A is essential, particularly for individuals with a strong family history of cardiovascular (heart or blood vessel) disease as it is considered an independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke. This test can help identify individuals who are at high risk, enabling early intervention to prevent future complications.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Lipoprotein A in Dehradun


Frequently Asked Questions about Lipoprotein A in Dehradun

Q. Why do I need the Lipoprotein A test?

You may need the Lipoprotein A test if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease if you have heart disease despite having normal cholesterol test results, or if you have high cholesterol (especially LDL or bad cholesterol) despite taking a heart-healthy diet.

Q. How does Lp-A differ from LDL?

While both Lp-A and LDL are types of cholesterol and contribute to the buildup of plaques in arteries, Lp-a comprises LDL along with an additional protein called apolipoprotein (a), which potentially makes it more damaging to your arteries and therefore can be an individual contributor to cardiovascular problems.
