LOINC long common name : Lipoprotein a [Moles/volume] in DBS by Turbidimetry;
LOINC short name : LPa DBS-sCnc;
LOINC description : 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};
