What causes high Lipoprotein a and low Mean plasma glucose?

High Lipoprotein a and low Mean plasma glucose can be caused by many reasons.

If your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl and your Mean plasma glucose is in between 70 mg/dL and 116 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Lipoprotein a and Mean plasma glucose 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	1.034
10-15 years	1.052
15-20 years	1.07
20-25 years	1.088
25-30 years	1.107
30-35 years	1.126

70-80 years	1.268
80-90 years	1.29
90-100 years	1.312
>100 years	1.335

High Lipoprotein a and low Mean plasma glucose can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Lipoprotein a and Mean plasma glucose blood tests and the results are higher than 30 mg/dl for Lipoprotein a and lower than 70 mg/dL for Mean plasma glucose, 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.
