Lipoprotein a [Moles/volume] in DBS by Turbidimetry

LPa DBS-sCnc

Definition

  • This term represents an assay quantifying lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels in blood samples, including dried blood spots, by measuring the turbidity produced when specific antibodies bind to Lp(a) particles. This technique has demonstrated improved accuracy with the addition of L-proline, allowing for effective assessment of Lp(a) concentrations, which are critical for evaluating cardiovascular disease risk.[PMID: 7634492}
