Testing lipoprotein levels in patients with lymphedema

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the levels of lipoprotein(a) in patients suffering from lymphedema, a condition characterized by lymph accumulation in tissues. Participants undergoing intensive inpatient decongestive therapy will have their blood tested for various lipid levels, including lipoprotein(a), to assess cardiovascular risk. The research aims to understand the relationship between lymphedema and elevated lipoprotein(a) levels, which are linked to increased cardiovascular risks. The study is conducted at Nice University Hospital, focusing on both primary and secondary lymphedema patients.
