LIFELABS BC LIPOPROTEIN (a) [Lp(a)] TESTING RESUMPTION

Dear Health Care Provider,

Please be advised that LifeLabs BC will resume test ordering for Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) on December 15, 2025

Due to a vendor reagent supply shortage, test ordering for Lp(a) was temporarily unavailable in BC starting November 17, 2025. 

Patients that were unable to have their collection for Lp(a) completed during the collection pause may bring their requisition/documentation to LifeLabs to have their collection completed anytime on or after December 15.

If you have any questions, please contact the BC support team at ContactUs-BC@LifeLabs.com or call 1-800-431-7206.

Sincerely,

LifeLabs
