Common questions
What if my Lp(a) is high?
Review the result and units with your clinician. Ask about managing LDL cholesterol, blood pressure and other modifiable risks, and whether first-degree relatives should be tested.
Do statins lower Lp(a)?
Statins primarily lower LDL cholesterol. Lp(a) can stay the same or rise modestly on statins. Ask what your medication is intended to lower before making changes.
Can I convert mg/dL to nmol/L?
A fixed conversion can be misleading because particle sizes differ. Interpret your result in the units the lab reported.
