The possible association between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and albumin excretion rate (AER) is a topic that generates conflicting views. In addition, Lp(a) phenotypes have not previously been considered as factors influencing AER. In order to clarify this issue, we studied 70 non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients without clinically detectable macroangiopathy, 27 with microalbuminuria and 43...
