What is Lipoprotein(a)?
A genetically-determined cholesterol particle that carries independent cardiovascular risk.
Lipoprotein(a) Reference Range
These are the typical adult reference ranges used by major US labs. Your report will include the specific range used by the lab that processed your sample.
| Population | Range |
|---|---|
| age 18+ | 0.000 – 75.0 nmol/L |
Reference ranges are educational. Always interpret your result with the specific range printed on your lab report and discuss anything outside the range with a clinician.
What your Lipoprotein(a) result may mean
Above 75 nmol/L is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Lp(a) is largely genetic and stable over time.
Educational only — not a diagnosis. Many factors can influence a single result. Discuss anything that concerns you with a healthcare provider.
