Treatment and symptoms of Lipoprotein a 178 mg/dl | Diet for high LP (A) level 178 mg/dl
High Lipoprotein a level of 178 can cause a number of symptoms.
An abnormal Lipoprotein(a) level of 178 is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes. A Lipoprotein(a) value of 178 can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries and may not respond to traditional cholesterol-lowering strategies. This inherited lipid marker provides additional insight into your heart health risk profile and is especially important for individuals with a family history of early heart disease or unexplained cardiovascular events. While you have several treatment alternatives, the most important action is to focus on your diet now.

Below are the symptoms and treatments associated with high Lipoprotein(a) levels:
- Symptoms of High Lipoprotein(a) Levels:
- High Lipoprotein(a) levels are generally asymptomatic and do not cause direct symptoms.
- However, elevated Lipoprotein(a) is considered a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, particularly atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries), heart attack, and stroke.
- While high Lipoprotein(a) itself does not cause symptoms, it increases the risk of developing heart-related issues over time.
- Treatments for High Lipoprotein(a) Levels:
- Currently, there are no specific medications approved to lower Lipoprotein(a) levels, but ongoing research is exploring potential treatments.
- Managing other cardiovascular risk factors, such as controlling cholesterol levels (especially LDL), blood pressure, and avoiding smoking, is essential in reducing the overall cardiovascular risk.
- In some cases, therapies like PCSK9 inhibitors or niacin may help lower Lipoprotein(a) levels, although their effectiveness can vary and is not always recommended.
- If high Lipoprotein(a) is linked to a family history of cardiovascular disease, close monitoring by a healthcare provider is crucial to assess overall risk and consider preventive measures like statin therapy or lifestyle changes.

What to do after Lipoprotein a blood test?
If bleeding occurs after your Lipoprotein a test, raise your arm and apply pressure to the spot for at least 3 minutes. It’s normal to see some bruising after a Lipoprotein a blood draw. If you feel pain following the Lipoprotein a test, apply ice wrapped in a towel to the area for 10 minutes. For anything more than mild discomfort, contact your doctor.
