Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]

Measured in nmol/L · LOINC 43583-3

Reference ranges

Optimal
075 nmol/L
functional-medicine target
Standard
0125 nmol/L
lab reference range

Optimal ranges are tighter than standard lab ranges and reflect functional-medicine targets, not the populations they were derived from. Reference bands depend on sex, age, and circumstance — Juno's lab analysis layers your profile context onto the printed range when you paste a value.

Peptide relevance

Largely genetic; one-time test is sufficient for most users unless reducing therapies (PCSK9 inhibitors, niacin in specific cases, future Lp(a)-specific therapies) are being trialed. Elevated Lp(a) is an independent CV risk factor that LDL-C and ApoB don't capture. No direct peptide effects documented in common stacks — peptides won't move this. NOTE: some labs report in mg/dL; conversion ≈ nmol/L × 0.4. Test once early, save the number, don't repeat unless on Lp(a)-targeted therapy.

Have a recent Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] value?

Paste it on the lab analysis page. Juno reads your active stack + (if shared) your medications and conditions, and surfaces plausible contributors with citations. Doesn't diagnose.
