Lp-PLA2 Activity

Primary unit: nmol/min/mL
LOINC codes: 86951-1
Tests that measure Lp-PLA2 Activity: Quest Diagnostics 2, Labcorp 1

Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
