Lp(a)的报告单位为mg/dL(质量)或nmol/L(颗粒浓度)。这两个单位不能直接换算,但临界值是对应的。
- 低于30 mg/dL(约75 nmol/L): 低;对心血管风险的贡献较小。
- 30至50 mg/dL(约75至125 nmol/L): 临界值;适度贡献。
- 50至90 mg/dL(约125至225 nmol/L): 升高;具有显著的独立风险。
- 高于90 mg/dL(约225 nmol/L): 高;具有实质性独立风险,尤其是在存在任何其他风险因素的情况下。
Once Lp(a) passes 50 mg/dL (about 125 nmol/L) it is an independent contributor to cardiovascular risk, meaning the effect remains after accounting for LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking and diabetes. In the Copenhagen City Heart Study, the adjusted risk of heart attack rose from about 1.6 times at 30 to 84 mg/dL, to about 2.6 times at 85 to 119 mg/dL, and to about 3.6 times at 120 mg/dL and over, compared with people below 5 mg/dL [7].
Adjusted hazard ratios for myocardial infarction by lipoprotein(a) level, Copenhagen City Heart Study| Lp(a) level | Adjusted risk of heart attack |
|---|
| 30 to 84 mg/dL | About 1.6 to 1.7 times |
| 85 to 119 mg/dL | About 2.6 times |
| 120 mg/dL and above | About 3.6 times |
这些数字仅供参考,而非最终定论。临床问题始终是:鉴于此Lp(a)水平,您的其余计划应如何调整?
