Preparation for the examination
General
- The material for testing is blood.
- The patient does not need to fast. It is recommended to drink fluids before the examination.
Important
Before blood sampling, avoid consuming excessive amounts of fat and do not take cholesterol-lowering medications unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Blood samples for routine lipid profile testing do not need to be collected on an empty stomach.
If triglyceride levels > 400 mg/dl are measured without fasting, the test should be repeated on an empty stomach.

Description
The test includes: Lipidogram and Lipoprotein(a)
Fats are transported in the blood bound to proteins (lipoproteins). LDL - low-density lipoproteins.
The importance of this test: assessing the risk of atherosclerosis and its sequelae, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. It can also be used to monitor treatment with cholesterol-lowering medications.
Abnormal values: in overweight people, type II diabetes, alcohol abusers, hypertension, family predisposition to high LDL values, protective effect of estrogens in women.
An essential component of the cell membrane.
It is a component of some hormones and bile acids. It is a component of gallstones. It is produced primarily in the liver.
It accumulates on the walls of arteries, causing atherosclerosis. In the blood, it is found as HDL and LDL cholesterol.
Importance of the examination: assessment of fat metabolism, assessment of the risk of atherosclerosis, analysis of the composition of gallstones (deposit examination).
Lipoprotein (a) is structurally similar to the LDL cholesterol molecule and has strong atherogenic properties.
It is an LDL-cholesterol-independent factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), aortic valve stenosis with calcification, peripheral artery disease and ischemic stroke.
Its concentration is 90% determined by genetic factors. Diet has no significant effect on Lp(a) levels. Lp(a) concentration normalizes around age 5 and remains stable throughout life.
It is recommended to have lipoprotein (a) tested at least once in your life.
Consideration should be given to designating Lp(a) u:
• all patients with premature onset of cardiovascular disease
• patients with no expected effects of statin treatment
• people with borderline risk between moderate and high, for better risk stratification
• people with a family history of elevated Lp(a) levels

Ordering a test means consent to its performance using the spectrophotometric method.
