What do we test for?

Lipoprotein(a)

A specific cholesterol-carrying particle in your blood. High levels are genetically inherited and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease; measuring Lp(a) helps assess inherited heart disease risk.

How will this help you?

What is Lipoprotein(a)?

Lipoprotein(a), often abbreviated Lp(a), is a type of lipoprotein particle that carries cholesterol and fats through your bloodstream. High levels of Lp(a) are genetically determined and linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are at-home Lipoprotein(a) tests?

How do I test my Lipoprotein(a) levels at home?

To perform the test, you use the small-volume blood collection kit (TDL Tiny) included in your home blood testing kit. You’ll prick your finger, collect drops of blood into the sample device, seal it, and send it to our laboratory using the prepaid envelope. Full instructions are provided in the kit.

We typically process and report results within 3–5 working days of receiving your sample in the lab. You’ll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view online.

What does the Lipoprotein(a) blood test kit measure?

Lipoprotein(a) is a lipoprotein particle that carries cholesterol in your blood. Elevated levels are linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Testing helps identify inherited risk and guide preventive steps.

Who should take a Lipoprotein(a) test?

You may benefit from a Lipoprotein(a) test if you have a family history of early heart disease, high cholesterol that doesn’t respond well to treatment, or if your GP recommends screening for cardiovascular risk.
