Abstract excerpt
This study investigated whether lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an acute-phase reactant that can cause important bias in risk factor analysis for coronary heart disease among patients with an acute-phase response (APR patients). To determine whether serum Lp(a) concentrations increase among APR patients, we compared the Lp(a) concentrations and apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] phenotypes of 100 controls with those of a...
