Health AI

High lipoprotein (A) level means you may be at higher risk of heart and blood vessel diseases or stroke. The levels generally remain stable but can be affected due to some health conditions.

Low levels are generally healthier, and the normal range for Lipoprotein (A) in blood is below 30 mg/dL. The higher your levels, the higher your risk of heart disease is.

Your healthcare professional may suggest a lipoprotein test to screen your risks for heart disease or diagnose heart conditions or stroke even before the symptoms appear.

Besides indicating a higher probability of a heart attack or stroke, high lipoprotein levels are also associated with certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, hypothyroidism, estrogen depletion, renal failure, and more.
