Is Lipoprotein a 145 high, normal or dangerous? What does LP (A) level 145 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: January 13, 2026

Your Lipoprotein a level of 145 is a High Lipoprotein a level.

A lipoprotein a level of 145 mg/dl usually means there is a genetic predisposition to heart disease. It suggests increased cardiovascular risk. High levels of lipoprotein a can cause chest pain, heart attack, stroke, fatty deposits in arteries, and poor circulation. This can be caused by genetics, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or hypothyroidism. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

High Lipoprotein a levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.

The normal Lipoprotein a range for men is :1 - 30 mg/dl

Ideal values of Lipoprotein a depending on age (male) :

Misdiagnosis is more common than people think—and the consequences can be serious. Delayed treatment, unnecessary medication, or worse. If you want a second opinion on your blood work, one option is to upload it to a site like wholebodyprotocol.com, where world-class doctors review your results. They charge a small fee—around $90 (though you'll want to check the latest price as it fluctuates)—and email you a detailed report. With over 12 million people affected by misdiagnosis every year, that little bit of extra peace of mind can go a long way.

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 found among women :1-30 mg/dl

Ideal values of Lipoprotein a depending on age (female) :

Age	Ideal Lipoprotein a value
<5 years	1.015
5-10 years	1.03
10-15 years	1.045
15-20 years	1.061
20-25 years	1.077
25-30 years	1.093
30-35 years	1.109
35-40 years	1.126
40-45 years	1.143
45-50 years	1.16
50-55 years	1.177
55-60 years	1.195
60-70 years	1.213
70-80 years	1.231
80-90 years	1.249
90-100 years	1.268
>100 years	1.287

If you take a Lipoprotein a blood test and the results are not in the normal range (1-30 mg/dl), your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get this test if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
