How the Lipoprotein a Test Is Done :

When your doctor recommends a Lipoprotein a test, you'll likely undergo a simple blood draw specifically targeting the measurement of Lipoprotein a. A pathologist, a specialist in studying diseases, will collect a small blood sample from your veins using a needle. Your Lipoprotein a test results will typically be available within a few hours after this procedure.
