Lipoprotein(a) test in DIFC, read by a doctor.
Lipoprotein(a) in DIFC — done the right way: a DHA-licensed nurse to your door, an accredited Dubai lab, and a real conversation with the doctor who reads your result. A genetically determined LDL-like particle that powerfully promotes atherosclerosis, thrombosis and aortic valve disease.
Why DIFC patients use us
DIFC is home to some of Dubai's busiest professionals — and busy professionals rarely have time to sit in a clinic waiting room. That's exactly why Aafiyah exists for this area. We offer on-site corporate health screenings for DIFC companies, discreet home or office doctor visits between meetings, and our Executive Health Check — a 40+ marker blood panel with ECG and a proper doctor consultation, all without taking a full day out of your schedule. If your company is based in DIFC and you're thinking about employee healthcare, our corporate packages are built specifically for teams like yours.
What Lipoprotein(a) actually tells us
A genetically determined LDL-like particle that powerfully promotes atherosclerosis, thrombosis and aortic valve disease.
A single measurement is enough — Lp(a) is genetically fixed. We focus on aggressively lowering ApoB to compensate.
High Lipoprotein(a)
>75 nmol/L is raised; >125 nmol/L is high cardiovascular risk.
Symptoms we ask about
- • Silent — only family history may flag it
Risk factors
- • Genetic — family history of early heart attack or stroke is the biggest clue
Conditions linked
- • Premature coronary disease
- • Stroke

- • Peripheral arterial disease
Lifestyle that moves the needle
- • Lifestyle cannot change Lp(a) — focus on lowering other risk factors
Further tests we may run

- • Carotid ultrasound
- • Family cascade screening
Treatments where indicated
- • Aggressive LDL/ApoB lowering with statins, ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitors

Retest: Once in a lifetime is usually sufficient.
