Is albuminuria or proliferative retinopathy associated with increased serum lipoprotein (a) concentrations in Type 1 diabetic patients?
Elevated lipoprotein (a) concentrations are associated with early-stage diabetic renal disease in Type 1 diabetes, which may contribute to the excess ischemic heart disease risk in these patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Lp(a) elevation was associated with albuminuria in type 1 diabetes; leaves open contribution to excess ischemic heart disease risk and need for prospective studies.
Winocour et al. (1991) studied this question.
