    I heard over 30mg/dl was considered high.

      ### General Ranges for Lp(a) Levels:
      - **Normal or Low Risk:** Lp(a) levels below 30 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) or less than 75 nmol/L (nanomoles per liter) are generally considered normal or indicative of lower cardiovascular risk.
      - **Moderate Risk:** Levels between 30-50 mg/dL (75-125 nmol/L) are often associated with a moderate increase in cardiovascular risk.
      - **High Risk:** Lp(a) levels above 50 mg/dL (greater than 125 nmol/L) are associated with a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke.
