Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why do I need this test?
Your healthcare provider may order this test if you have heart disease despite having normal other lipid test results, high cholesterol, despite maintaining a heart healthy diet, a family history of early age and/or sudden deaths due to heart disease.
What happens during a lipoprotein (a) test?
A healthcare professional takes a blood sample from a vein from the arm. A small amount of blood sample will be drawn using a needle. You may experience a little discomfort when the needle goes inside or out. This sample collection takes less than five minutes.
Would I need to do anything to prepare for the test?
Your healthcare provider will inform about if there are any special instructions to follow. Usually, you may not need any special preparation for this test. However, if your healthcare provider has ordered other tests like cholesterol testing, you may need to do fasting for 9 to 12 hours before the blood sample is drawn.
Are there any risks with the test?
There will be little risk for having a blood test. You may experience slight pain at the spot where the needle was inserted, but most symptoms go away within less time.
