A Lipoprotein (a) test can help identify a plaque build-up causing clogging of your arteries. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances found in your blood. Hardening or furring of the arteries (atherosclerosis) is caused when this plaque accumulates on your artery walls. As the plaque hardens over time, your arteries become narrow, leading to restricted blood flow that can damage your organs and stop them functioning properly.
A Lipoprotein (a) Blood Test measures the levels of lipoprotein (a) in the blood, providing insights into your risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis. Elevated levels of lipoprotein have been associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular conditions like heart disease or stroke.
Our private Lipoprotein (a) tests are quick, easy and most appointments only last 20 - 30 minutes. With over 350 testing venues across England and Ireland, you'll find a date, time and venue convenient for you.
Already included in our Complete Full Body Health MOT, the Lipoprotein (a) Test can also be added as an individual test to many of our existing full body health packages. Taking charge of your heart health has never been more convenient.

Lipoprotein (a) is a cholesterol particle linked to a protein called apolipoprotein (a). Measuring Lipoprotein (a) provides crucial insights into cardiovascular health.
Elevated lipoprotein (a) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly atherosclerosis. This test can help you spot potential heart-related risks early on so you take action or make lifestyle changes.
A Lp(a) Test (lipoprotein) is especially useful for people with a family history of heart issues or those who want a closer look at their health. If the results show higher levels, our personalised Results Report will provide guidance on the next best steps.
A Lipoprotein (a) Test is important to any full body health screening or heart health profile. It can help you uncover key insights into your heart health and the overall functioning of your cardiovascular system. A Lipoprotein (a) Test can help you:
