What causes high Lipoprotein a and low Platelet count?

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

If your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl and your Platelet count is in between 150 thou/uL and 450 thou/uL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Lipoprotein a and Platelet count 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
