About this Test: Lp(a) is ordered, along with other lipid tests, to selectively screen for risk factors for coronary artery disease and cerebral vascular disease. Some doctors have started to order Lp(a) and several other emerging cardiac risk markers on patients who have a strong family history of premature coronary artery disease. Lp (a) is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease and stroke equal to high LDL cholesterol. Lp(a) levels are genetically determined, remain constant, and are not affected by lifestyle. Please allow 3 business days for results.

Preparation: None, though it is always a good practice to drink plenty of water prior to your blood draw.
