Lipoprotein (a) Test
$24.00
The Lipoprotein a Test is a blood test that measures levels of lipoprotein a, a genetic variation of LDL cholesterol. Elevated lipoprotein a levels are strongly linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
While lipoprotein a itself does not cause specific symptoms, it serves as an important marker for potential heart-related problems. High levels can indicate a greater risk of heart attacks or strokes.
Doctors often recommend this test, especially for individuals with a family history of heart disease, to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Understanding your Lp(a) levels helps guide preventive strategies and treatment options, such as lifestyle changes or medical management, to protect your heart health and reduce long-term risks.
