Aim: Aims of the study was to find out the level of serum lipoprotein (a) in healthy and hypertensive subjects and role of serum lipoprotein (a) as an independent marker of cardiovascular risk in patients with essential hypertension . Material and Method: Hundred patients with essential hypertension and 50 apparently healthy subjects were included in the study. Sera were collected from them and measure serum Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] with Latex turbidimetric method on automated chemistry analyzer. Unpaired t-test was used to assess the significant difference in the means of the studied variables in the different groups. Results: The mean level of serum lipoprotein(a) is higher in patients with essential hypertension comparing with the control group (21.6Downloads
