What is LP-PLA2 lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 test?

Lp-PLA2 is an inflammatory protein that is produced in the vascular intima and is more abundant in advanced Atherosclerotic lesions than in early-stage lesions. As a result, its measurement could aid in the identification of patients with rupture-prone plaques. Lp-PLA2 has much less variability than hsCRP and is not elevated in systemic inflammatory conditions. It appears to be a more specific vascular inflammation marker. Elevated baseline Lp-PLA2 levels have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Even after adjusting for CVD risk factors, the risk prediction remains significant.

Why is it done?

This test determines the concentration or activity of Lp-PLA2 in the blood. Lp-PLA2 has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke, according to recent research.
