Quick answer
The Lp(a) Test measures lipoprotein(a), a particle that carries cholesterol in the blood. The level is largely determined by genetics and stays fairly stable over a person's life. Higher values are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke. The test is often used when a clinician wants extra information beyond a standard lipid panel, especially with a family history of early heart disease.
What this test measures
Lipoprotein(a) is a type of LDL-like particle with an additional protein attached. The amount in the blood is mostly inherited and differs widely between people. It remains relatively stable, so it usually does not need repeated testing in most situations.
The test requires a blood sample, and fasting is often not necessary. Because levels are genetically set, a single measurement is usually enough. Results are interpreted alongside standard cholesterol values and the person's overall risk profile and family health history.
Testing may be considered when someone has early cardiovascular disease, a strong family history, or risk factors that are not fully explained by standard lipids. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the result and discuss what it means for prevention and monitoring.
