Variations in serum Lp(a) concentrations were studied in a large population of non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients in relation to long-term complications. Lp(a) concentrations were measured by immunonephelometry in 819 NIDDM subjects and compared with those of 128 controls. Correlations were investigated relative to plasma lipid and glycaemic parameters, body mass index (BMI) and macro- and microvascular complications. Mean absolute and relative variations of Lp(a) concentrations were studied in a subgroup of 245 patients over a one-year period. No significant differences were found between Lp(a) concentrations in NIDDM and control subjects. No relationship was evidenced with macrovascular and microvascular complications or glycaemic control. Mean relative Lp(a) variations were correlated with BMI and absolute and relative variations in triglyceridaemia. These results confirm the absence of any alterations of Lp(a) concentrations in a large cohort of NIDDM patients, either with or without micro- and macrovascular complications, but suggest a particular modulatory role for BMI and serum triglyceride variations.
