What causes high Lipoprotein a and low Alkaline phosphatase?

High Lipoprotein a and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by many reasons.

If your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl and your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Lipoprotein a and Alkaline phosphatase respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

The level of Lp(a) is determined by your genes. Some other examples of conditions that increase Lipoprotein a levels include:

• Low estrogen levels
• Nephrotic syndrome.
• Chronic kidney disease
• Diabetes
• Severe underactive thyroid

Normal range of Lipoprotein a : 1 - 30 mg/dl

Ideal values of Lipoprotein a depending on age :

<5 years	1.017
5-10 years	1.035
10-15 years	1.053
15-20 years	1.071
20-25 years	1.09
25-30 years	1.109
30-35 years	1.128

80-90 years	1.294
90-100 years	1.316
>100 years	1.339

High Lipoprotein a and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Lipoprotein a and Alkaline phosphatase blood tests and the results are higher than 30 mg/dl for Lipoprotein a and lower than 30 U/L for Alkaline phosphatase, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
