not an independent risk factor

"In this cohort, Lp(a) was not an independent risk factor for [ischemic heart disease] but appeared to increase the risk associated with other lipid risk factors." ^[1] B3141592653 (talk) 20:35, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ICD-10 diagnostic codes for Lp(a) approved by the CDC

The Lipoprotein(a) Foundation announced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has approved two ICD-10 codes for the diagnosis of elevated Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a). The ICD-10 diagnosis codes help to identify asymptomatic patients with elevated Lipoprotein(a) (E78.41) and a family history of elevated Lipoprotein(a) (Z83.430), and will go into effect in October of this year.

Misleading infobox

The infobox used here (Template:Infobox gene) shows an image depicting apo(a), while its title is "LPA", which according to the article text stands for Lipoprotein(a). In short, it shows a protein rather than a lipoprotein. Since there's no caption for the image, the infobox is misleading.

Of course, the image does not look like a lipoprotein, hence most readers probably will understand that the image does not show an LPA. However, they may fail to guess what it does show exactly.

incomplete sentence

"One large study suggested that there was a decreased association between lipoprotein(a) levels and risk. [citation needed]" Needs to specify what risk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varidhi Singh (talk • contribs) 13:59, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting

I have made some edits to clarity of language, but I am not sure how much further to edit. Given the scientific subject matter, it seems appropriate that a degree of technical language is used. Apart from the technical terms, the rest of the language seems fairly clear. Usingspoons31 (talk) 21:18, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus

The medical consensus from health authorities is that Lp(a) should be measured once in each adult person’s lifetime. [1], [2], [3]. 90% of a person’s Lp(a) level is inherited. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update needed

Many of the systematic reviews on this article are over 12 or 14 years out of date. I would suggest updating the article with modern reviews [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
