Thus the conversion of 272 nmol/L to mg/dl is to divide by 2.4? Thus 113 ish (mg/dl)
The reported total LDL (first post) was 121. (mg/dl)
So it is possible, but means that the entire LDL measured was Lp(a)?
So to answer a question, no, I don't believe the Lp(a) reported is accurate.

My 2 cents,
While far from the mainstream here, had I not avoided wheat & associated grains my LPa my be unmanageable as some of my blood type O acquaintances
Fish oil & niacin is best. I do 6 or more gr of IR a day.
BTW there is the aterialscolsis reversal vitamin-k mk7 2 year outcome study coming out soon. Search "VitaK-CAC Trial"

I'm fighting the same problem. My lp(a) has risen to 0,92 g/l (= 92 mg/dl) according to the lab report. The previous value was measured by another lab at 49 mg/dl (limit 30 mg/dl). Strangely, the values in the lab I last used are regularly higher. Both labs measured with a nephelometer. However, nephelometry is probably a dubious method to measure lp(a). Anyway, I have my doubts that the values are correct. But I don't know a suitable lab in Germany.

Which method is used to measure and not "computed" lp(a)?
