I have a 4.9 ascending aneurysm. I had my Lp(a) tested and it’s s high. It’s not really high, but still high.
I sent the results to my doctor and I believe they were stuck in my folder never to be seen again.. I am on Rosuvastatin, but does that help with high Lp(a)?

Rouvastatin will lower your LDL-C and that, in turn, will reduce your lp(a)
My husband is on a P9SCK (sp?) med that has reduced his LDL-C to 35 and his lp(a) to 99 (from 160. Hopefully, some plaque will come off his walls.

I am no doctor but your results on that first page look good. HgbA1C and kidney function look great.
Your lp(a) is about the typical reference value of 75. I suspect you can bring that to normal by aggressively reducing your LDL-C.
