Lipoprotein-A (Lp(a)) Test
Direct answer: This test measures Lipoprotein-A levels to assess inherited risk of heart disease.
The Lipoprotein-A Test is a blood test that measures Lipoprotein-A (Lp(a)), a genetically determined cholesterol-like particle that increases the risk of atherosclerosis and early heart disease. Unlike routine lipid tests, Lp(a) remains largely unaffected by diet and lifestyle, making it a key marker for identifying hidden cardiovascular risk in otherwise healthy individuals.
This test is available at healthcare nt sickcare with home collection facility in Pune and direct walk-in sample submission at our Aundh centre. Samples are processed through NABL-accredited partner laboratories with secure digital reporting for patients across Pune, Maharashtra.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Direct answer: Individuals with family history of early heart disease or unexplained high cholesterol.
This test is advised for people with premature cardiac events in the family, repeated heart problems despite normal lipid results, diabetes, hypertension, or those seeking advanced heart-risk screening. Early Lp(a) detection helps doctors plan preventive cardiovascular care.
