Lp(a): The Genetic Risk Factor That Affects 1 in 5 People — And Is Almost Never Tested

Lipoprotein(a) — written as Lp(a) and pronounced 'LP little a' — is a lipoprotein particle that is structurally similar to LDL but far more atherogenic. Elevated Lp(a) is strongly associated with premature coronary artery disease, aortic stenosis, and stroke. Approximately 20% of the global population has a level considered high-risk (above 50 mg/dL or 125 nmol/L). And unlike LDL — which can be reduced by diet, exercise, and statins — Lp(a) is almost entirely genetically determined. You cannot exercise it away. You cannot eat it away. But you can know your level and manage your risk accordingly.

At Aeonix, our comprehensive panels cover the markers that matter — tested in ISO 15189-accredited Swiss laboratories, reviewed by a qualified physician, and delivered within 48 hours. Because the information that protects your health should not depend on the accident of what your GP happens to order.
