This what I was talking about. You’ll notice his APO-B dropped substantially, Using stainolgy “It Dropped a by a Massive 11%!!”
APO-B is the latest Buzz as to the cause of CVD. Their saying it’s more of a predictive indicator then LDL. Unfortunately for the statinators this massive drop was caused by your husbands reduction of statins from 80mg. to 40Mg.HMMM!!!
first test he did when the lp(a) was 14 he was on 80mg of lipator and the second test he did he was on 40mg of lipator with the lp(a) being 20
The glucose reading on the first test in October was 84
The glucose reading on the second test in May was 94
I also wanted to tell you these readings just in case they mean anything:
APO B- Particle reading in October was 75
APO B- Particle reading in may was 67
Q-LDL IIIa+b in October was 12.4
Q-LDL IIIa+b in may was 12.3
Q-LDL IVb in October was 1.5
Q-LDL IVb in may was 1.4
This is another reason I don’t put too much credence in these figures each LP(a) has a APO-B particle in it’s make up. So a lower APO-B should result in lower LP(a) calculations since it’s also used in calculating the LP(a).
I’m going to check with our guru lab rat Monday and get the pro opinion, Their into this everyday and can give me the true answer. I just see their results and try to figure out what’s going on.
Normally I wouldn’t even consider this rise to be of any consequence because his levels are well within normal range however the reason behind it would be good to know for future reference. You need to settle down a little you can’t base everything on one number and panic because it changed. The other numbers you presented all show signs of improvement this is good and without a baseline figure it’s hard to say what a change would mean. If you had a LP(a) reading before his incident you could have a concern but for now till you establish a good baseline, it should be a observe for symptoms type situation.
I did some searches and came up with these, some get techy but you’ll see there’s many possibilities to explore.
In this one it looks at glucose changes across a varying of people, conditions and times for changes in LP(a).
