About Lipoprotein (a) Disorders

Lipoprotein disorders arise from abnormalities in the synthesis, processing, or breakdown of plasma lipoprotein particles. Moreover, elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) indicate a high risk of heart disease and stroke.

High levels can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases. Lipoprotein (a) treatment includes managing lifestyle and in extreme cases taking drugs.
