What causes high Lipoprotein a and low Thrombin Time?

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

If your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl and your Thrombin Time is in between 14 sec and 23 sec then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Lipoprotein a and Thrombin Time 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
