As of 2009, there is no treatment for elevated levels of this enzymatic activity, though inhibitors are in development and clinical trials. Thus currently it is only a marker which can serve as an indicator for more aggressive treatment of those physiologic behaviors which can be changed to slow/halt progression of atherosclerosis.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]
Some children with autoimmune lymphoproliferative disorders are heterozygous for a mutation in the gene that codes for the Fas receptor, which is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 at position 24.1, denoted 10q24.1. [3] This gene is member 6 of the TNF-receptor superfamily (TNFRSF6).
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2) also known as platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a phospholipase A 2 enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLA2G7 gene. [5] [6] Lp-PLA 2 is a 45-kDa protein of 441 amino acids. [7] It is one of several PAF acetylhydrolases.

Hyperproteinemia is the state of having overly high levels of protein in the blood. This can occur due to monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma and after intravenous immunoglobulin has been given. [1] It can result in a falsely low appearing sodium level (hyponatremia). [1]
The current simplest treatment for elevated Lp(a) is to take 1–3 grams of niacin daily, typically in an extended-release form. Niacin therapy may reduce Lp(a) levels by 20–30%. [ 63 ] However more recent research suggests that the inflammatory effects of the breakdown products of excess niacin lead to an increase in risk of major adverse ...
