Abstract excerpt
High lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plasma concentrations are an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. In the general population, Lp(a) levels are primarily determined by allelic variation at the apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] gene locus. Apo(a) isoforms of various sizes are associated with different Lp(a) concentrations. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have elevated plasma concentrations of Lp(a), which...
