The four blood lipids are normal, but only lipoprotein a, or lipoprotein (a), is high, which is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and carries a certain risk.
The normal range of lipoprotein (a) is 0~300mg/L, which is able to carry a large amount of cholesterol and is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Therefore, lipoprotein (a) higher than the normal range is able to predict the risk of atherosclerosis at an early stage, which is closely related to coronary artery disease, post-cardiac bypass grafting, post-coronary artery restenosis after coronary artery angioplasty, and stroke.
In addition, elevated lipoprotein (a) is associated with type 1 diabetes, inflammation, after surgery and trauma, and after hemodialysis. Therefore, if high lipoprotein (a) is present, it is also necessary to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and avoid delaying treatment.
