[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 103474, member: 13"] Welcome to the high Lp(a) club, lol! Well, at least you know to take some proactive steps to keep it in check for now until the new drug, AKCEA-APO(a)-LRx, gets final FDA approval ([URL]http://www.lipoproteinafoundation.org/[/URL]) Until then, high-dose niacin and/or tocopherol nicotinate, lysine, vitamin C, TRT, DHEA, l-carnitine, saturated fat (yes, SFAs lower Lp(a)) is pretty much all we have to at least keep it in check for the time being. Neither dietary intervention nor exercise has any effect on reducing level, as Lp(a) is genetically-determined. I do notice mine increases with weight gain and coincides with elevation in other deleterious markers as well, so keeping your BMI/bodyfat levels healthy, along with common sense health habits should always be a mainstay in reducing risk. Your HDL is suppressed, and I would guess that your other lipid biomarkers may be off as well; the only way to confirm this is to have an advanced lipid panel like the one I posted on upthread. I just happened on this article today. Apheresis is not something I would do, but it is at least an option: [URL]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5549947/Could-pumping-BLOOD-machine-help-prevent-heart-attacks.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
