What causes high Lipoprotein a and low CRP?

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

If your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl and your CRP is in between 0.1 mg/L and 3 mg/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Lipoprotein a and CRP 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
