Re: LpA measured or computed
If the test was done by a major nationwide laboratory - a good bet is was calculated.
Since Lp(a) is a subset of LDL, if the Lp(a) number is HIGHER than the LDL number, clearly something is amiss.
Atherotech (VAP) test went out of business
Smokey Labs used to measure Lp(a) but I couldn't find them using a google search
Life Extension used to offer the VAP test. I don't know whether their Lp(a) test is now measured

But you could try calling life extension and ask them
