| description | This term represents an assay quantifying lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels in blood samples, including dried blood spots, by measuring the turbidity produced when specific antibodies bind to Lp(a) particles. This technique has demonstrated improved accuracy with the addition of L-proline, allowing for effective assessment of Lp(a) concentrations, which are critical for evaluating cardiovascular disease risk.[PMID: 7634492} | |
| status | ACTIVE | |

| component | Lipoprotein (little a) | |
| property | SCnc = Substance Concentration | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | Bld.dot = Blood filter paper | |
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | |
| method | Turbidimetry | |
