Lipoprotein (a) Test (Lp(a))

Description

The Lipoprotein (a) Test measures the levels of Lipoprotein (a), or Lp(a), a specific type of lipoprotein in your blood associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Why It’s Important:
Elevated Lp(a) levels can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of:

• Heart attack

• Stroke

• Other cardiovascular conditions

This test is particularly useful for individuals with:

• A family history of heart disease

• Unexplained high cholesterol levels

Convenient Testing Options:
No doctor’s visit is required. You can choose at-home blood collection or visit our Patient Service Center (PSC) in Central Florida. For those outside Central Florida, nationwide testing options are available, giving you easy access to your cardiovascular health information wherever you are.
