Testing Lp(a) lipoprotein in people with lymphedema
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood marker called Lp(a) in adults who have lymphedema. The goal is to understand whether checking Lp(a) is important for people with this condition.

This study uses special ultrasound techniques to help doctors tell the difference between lymphedema (fluid swelling) and lipedema (fat swelling) in the legs. If you have one of these conditions or have healthy legs, you may be able to join.
This trial looks at factors that affect study experiences for adults with lymphedema, including how they cope with scheduled visits and treatment during the study. It may help researchers improve how future lymphedema studies are run.
This study looks at lymphatic “drainage” problems (lymphedema) and how they develop after breast cancer treatment. It may help doctors better understand lymphedema and improve care for people who meet the study safety requirements.
This study collects samples (like blood and possibly lymph fluid-related tests) to help doctors better tailor treatment for lymphedema. It may help researchers find ways to improve outcomes for people treated for swollen, fluid-rich tissue.
This study looks at how a fatty substance in your blood called lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), might affect the stiffness of your arteries and how well your heart muscle works. It will help us understand if high Lp(a) is connected to early signs of heart disease.
This trial tests a new method called LILAC to help people learn about and manage high levels of lipoprotein(a), a type of fat in the blood. It is for anyone 16 or older who attends educational events or is part of a health group.
