Purpose of review Elevated levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are present in 30–50% of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. The contribution of Lp(a) towards risk stratification of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia has been recently recognized, with studies showing a significantly worse prognosis if Lp(a) is elevated. However, the role of elevated Lp(a) in diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia is less well defined or accepted. Recent findings An important confounder in the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia is the significant contribution of the cholesterol content on Lp(a) (Lp(a)-C) in individuals with elevated Lp(a). Because Lp(a)-C is incorporated into all clinical LDL-C measurements, it can contribute significantly to the cholesterol threshold diagnostic criteria for familial hypercholesterolemia used in most clinical algorithms. Summary In this review, we discuss the interrelationship of Lp(a), Lp(a)-C and correct LDL-C in the diagnosis and prognosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. Future studies of accurately measuring correct LDL-C or in using apoB-100 and Lp(a) criteria may overcome the limitations of using estimated LDL-C in the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia in individuals with concomitant elevation of Lp(a).
