Abstract

Lipoprotein (a) is a type of lipoprotein that consists of a cholesterol-rich low-density lipoprotein particle bound to a unique protein called apolipoprotein (a). A strengthened risk of vascular diseases, such as stroke and coronary artery disease is accompanied by elevated levels of this protein. However, recent research has also highlighted the potential role of lipoprotein (a) in kidney-related conditions. Lp (a) appears to play a significant role in kidney diseases. An increased risk of kidney disease development and progression, diabetic nephropathy and renal artery stenosis, and renal transplant dysfunction accompanies high plasma values of Lp (a). © 2025 The Author(s);.
