Illustrative ranges. Your physician sets yours.
(01) How it’s done
On the day
A single blood test from the morning draw. There is nothing to prepare beyond the usual fast.
Because your level is set by your genes, you only need it once in your life. We keep it on your record and do not charge for it again.
(02) Why it matters
What it tells us
About one person in five carries a raised Lp(a). It roughly doubles the risk of a heart attack and is invisible on a standard cholesterol test.
There is no lifestyle fix for Lp(a) itself, but knowing it changes how hard we push everything else: ApoB, blood pressure and blood sugar targets all get stricter.
(03) Same system
Heart & vessels
Measured on the same day, read by the same physician.
