Lipoprotein Electrophoresis Test in Slough
Lipoprotein electrophoresis is a specialised diagnostic test used to measure and analyse different lipoprotein fractions in the blood. This test helps identify abnormal distribution and concentration of lipoproteins, which are essential markers in assessing cardiovascular health.

Purpose of Lipoprotein Electrophoresis
The test evaluates the levels of various lipoprotein types, such as HDL, LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons. Abnormal patterns can indicate an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) and other lipid metabolism disorders.

Role in Coronary Artery Disease Risk Assessment
An imbalance or irregular distribution of lipoproteins in the serum is considered a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. Lipoprotein electrophoresis provides valuable insights into a patient’s lipid profile, enabling early detection and prevention of cardiovascular conditions.

When is the Test Recommended?
This test is typically recommended for individuals with:

A family history of heart disease

Unexplained high cholesterol or triglyceride levels

Premature cardiovascular events

Suspected genetic lipid disorders
