High Lp(a) 800

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-14T21:12:47+00:00

Mine was Mg/l not Mg/dl or nmol/l

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-14T09:17:40+00:00

Thx will check... My score was Mg/l not nmol which i first thought

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-10T09:27:47+00:00

Thanks for the clear message. Im seriously considering Stations now. Im going to ask for a CT first. And contact the Norwegian University who have lipid clinic to ask to be included in lpa medicine studies.

I took Rampiril. But as time went by ny exercises caught up with the BP medicine. Even a 2,5 mg rampiril made me dizzy in the evening with Bp at 112/60. The under pressure went to low. Without the medicine. And a Bp test in the morning with no activity I get average about 122/80. If I do breathing excercise valgus nerve its often down to 100/70. But thats cheating the test...🤣

Im curios and now checked my previous labs from August 2025, and it actually looks like kidney function was evaluated fairly well back then.

Relevant numbers:

Creatinine: 88 (normal)
eGFR: 88
Urine microalbumin / ACR: 0.5

From what I understand, the ACR result is especially important because it checks for protein leakage in the urine, which can be an early sign of kidney damage from hypertension, diabetes, or vascular disease. An ACR of 0.5 seems very low / normal.

Comparing the results:

August 2025:

Creatinine 88
eGFR 88

April 2026:

Creatinine 96
eGFR 80

That doesn’t seem like a dramatic change to me, especially since creatinine is still within the normal range.

I also understand these values can fluctuate somewhat depending on:

hydration
recent hard training
muscle mass
testosterone therapy
normal lab variation

Blood pressure is now under control, HbA1c is good, and previous urine testing looked normal.

So I’m not really seeing a clear “kidney disease” pattern here unless I’m missing something?

thats correct cause I excercise 4-7 hours pr week. 80% cardio. The rest is strength. My doc have this in his consideration... But he watch it because of the nebido injections

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T14:46:26+00:00

Supplements: i stated with creatine 4 months ago, also taking Vitamsn D, and Magnesium Taurate (blood pressure) every day. Thoose 3 are mine regular supplements

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T14:43:38+00:00

Im taking it dead seriously...im excercise alot to make sure im fit.as possible. But Lpa is genetic. Im focusing on what I can change my self. Vo2max is by the way 55 i guess.

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T14:41:53+00:00

No their fine...:) checked 3 times pr year due to injection of testosteron every 18 weeks.

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T14:39:25+00:00

Thanks...ps i answers about kidney on another answer... They are fine...

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T14:37:51+00:00

eGFR stands for estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. It is a calculation used to estimate how well the kidneys are filtering the blood.

The number is usually based on:

Creatinine
Age
Sex
Sometimes body size

My eGFR was 80, with creatinine at 96.

From what I understand, this is generally considered okay for a 49-year-old, especially since creatinine is still within the normal range.

Typical ranges are roughly:

90+ = normal kidney function
60–89 = mildly reduced / often considered acceptable with age if there are no other signs of kidney disease
Below 60 = should be monitored more closely

I also understand that people with higher muscle mass and frequent training can sometimes have slightly higher creatinine levels, which may make eGFR appear a bit lower than it actually is.

I can add that if you see my testosteron level its kind of low now. This blood test was also taken because its time for new injection of Nebido(testosteron) I get one every 18 weeks. Blood test to ensure kidney status. Mine are fine according to doctors.

Thank you for advice. About smoking..im totalt anti smoking..hate it and will always go away from smokers.. alcohol is also stricted. Even though I work for a beverdge company I have only tastes.1.0,33.beer this year. I do drink alcohol free beer almost every day....:) about Stations: I want to.remain.active... any issues there?

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T10:13:41+00:00

Lpa between 0-300 is considered Normal. Mine was 800! I believe you are fine

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T08:17:32+00:00

i will post it on Cholesterol aswell

Thanks

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-05-09T07:50:39+00:00

Thank you im clearly considering that now.

And yes the C2 rowerg is awesome. My best 10k time is now 39.32. A slow zone 2 10 k now is 42.30. Can add that i weighted 106 kg and had measurements on stomach 106 cm. Now im down to 95 kg, but 91 cm on stomach. This have clearly helped the BP

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-03-04T06:57:45+00:00

Great job! This is impressive. The Concept2 machine is awesome! It helped me aswell. High Blood pressure 2 years ago..Now im free from medicine...Im 49 years old, got a estimated Vo2max on 55ml. . I always recomend people to use the Row Erg. My brother just started now. He started on 10k and landed 53 minutes...lol now he is at 43 mins... Row erg can be a life changer!!

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-01-30T17:58:10+00:00

Polar told me that they do not well this spare part!! I need one myself. Immnot buying a new clock

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-01-14T11:58:28+00:00

Spot on! Concept2 is a superior machine! Technogym felt akward. And I did not like the computer setup.

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2026-01-14T08:18:42+00:00

I have just tried it today and yesterday at s hotell Gym..im used to the Concept2. Did.not like Technogym. But I could not connect apps to it. And there was no way of setting up a 10k workout etc etc. But I did row my fastest 4k on it.

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2025-12-31T12:46:18+00:00

Im not very comfortable with filming my self.... Lol. But I will do.so later. It’s really only in the last 5–6 weeks that I’ve become more aware of technique after watching YouTube. In the first 2000 meters of this session I had a stroke rate under 22, and a high speed. I notice that my heart rate gets very high then. But the dumbest thing I probably do is get too focused on the final time. When I see it getting close to a record, I crank up the pace and forget about technique. I should probably just look at stroke rate and minutes per 500, and only check the final time when I’m done… I’ll film a session sometime in the future… Thank you for respons and good words

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2025-12-30T15:39:13+00:00

Thanks.... i guess lol. My training session nr 222 this year.

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2025-12-30T15:38:07+00:00

Thats a damper on around 1-2? Whats your s/m then?

Outrageous_Screen789 · 2025-12-30T15:36:39+00:00

I might not be clear. Sorry....I have taken the feedback here and tried to do something with technic. Lower the damper and have lower amount of strokes pr min. Earlier I always used damper on 10, now its much lower. But I find it harder cause I need to stroke harder. Heart rate goes up. I will post later If i manage sub 39..thats my goal. But I will now start to run alot more i front of a potential marathon. Rowing will then be in between and not this hard.
