The Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2) Activity Test is a specialized blood test designed to measure the activity of the enzyme Lp-PLA2 in the bloodstream. This enzyme is linked to inflammation in the arteries and is considered a risk marker for cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. The test aims to identify individuals at higher risk for these conditions by detecting elevated levels of Lp-PLA2, thereby enabling early intervention and management strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risk.

At DNA Labs UAE, the test is available for a cost of 510 AED. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and employs advanced testing methodologies to ensure accurate and reliable results. Conducting the Lp-PLA2 Activity Test at DNA Labs UAE allows individuals to gain valuable insights into their cardiovascular health, facilitating informed decisions regarding lifestyle adjustments and medical interventions to improve heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Lp-PLA2 LIPOPROTEIN ASSOCIATED PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ACTIVITY Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the Lp-PLA2 LIPOPROTEIN ASSOCIATED PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ACTIVITY Test. This diagnostic test measures the level of Lp-PLA2 enzyme activity in the blood to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Test Details

The Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein Associated Phospholipase A2) Activity Test is used to measure the level of Lp-PLA2 enzyme activity in the blood. Lp-PLA2 is primarily associated with LDL cholesterol particles and is involved in the inflammation process within the arterial walls. By assessing Lp-PLA2 activity, we can determine the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in individuals with intermediate or high risk factors.

Elevated Lp-PLA2 activity has been linked to an increased risk of atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, and subsequent cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. Therefore, this test is crucial in guiding treatment decisions, including the use of statin medications or other interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk.

It is important to note that the Lp-PLA2 activity test is not a screening test for the general population. It is typically recommended for individuals with specific risk factors or a history of cardiovascular disease.

Test Components and Price

The Lp-PLA2 LIPOPROTEIN ASSOCIATED PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ACTIVITY Test is priced at 510.0 AED. The test requires a sample condition of 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. It is recommended to ship the sample refrigerated or frozen. Overnight fasting is preferred for accurate results.

Report Delivery

The sample can be delivered from Monday through Saturday by 5 pm, and the report is typically available within 10 days.

Method and Test Type

The Lp-PLA2 LIPOPROTEIN ASSOCIATED PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ACTIVITY Test is performed using the CLIA method. It falls under the category of heart diseases test.

Pre Test Information

Overnight fasting is preferred before taking the Lp-PLA2 LIPOPROTEIN ASSOCIATED PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ACTIVITY Test.

Consultation with a Physician

This test is ordered by a physician, typically a cardiologist or a general practitioner.

Test Department

The Lp-PLA2 LIPOPROTEIN ASSOCIATED PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 ACTIVITY Test is conducted in the OS department of DNA Labs UAE.

At DNA Labs UAE, we understand the importance of accurate and timely testing for cardiovascular risk assessment.

Test Details

Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein Associated Phospholipase A2) Activity Test is a diagnostic test that measures the level of Lp-PLA2 enzyme activity in the blood. Lp-PLA2 is an enzyme that is primarily associated with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol particles and is involved in the inflammation process within the arterial walls.

This test is used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in individuals with intermediate or high risk factors. Elevated Lp-PLA2 activity has been associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, and subsequent cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke.

The test is usually performed alongside other lipid profile tests, such as cholesterol and triglyceride levels, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular risk. The results of the Lp-PLA2 activity test can help guide treatment decisions, including the use of statin medications or other interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk.

It is important to note that the Lp-PLA2 activity test is not a screening test for the general population but is typically recommended for individuals with specific risk factors or a history of cardiovascular disease. The test is performed on a blood sample, and the results are typically reported as a numerical value indicating the level of Lp-PLA2 activity in the blood.
