Anyone else out there with extremely high lipoprotein (a)?

Hi Rosie: last Fall my cardiologist added Repatha to my cholesterol lowering regimen, and while it lowered my LDL from 109 to 27, there was also a 60% decrease in my Lp(a), although to be fair, I started much lower than you.
I don’t believe Repatha is marketed for anything other than LDL reductions, it may be worth checking. Also, look into clinical trials (if you’re interested), as there are some out there specifically for Lp(a)

Wow that repatha sounds like magic. I read there really wasn’t much that helped. And it seems such a big number, as you say is hard to budge. So you are probably ok now? Thanks for your response

Hi Rosie, if you don't mind me asking what was your LP(a)? Mine has been checked three different times and reminds consistently around 93 or 94. I have been told that it remains fairly constant. What were you taking before repatha? I am very interested in repatha since you indicated lowered your LPA. Best of luck to you in your journey too lower the blood lipids.
