Triglycerides details

Description

Triglycerides are a type of fat that circulates in your blood, mainly used and stored for future energy, and they rise significantly for several hours after eating, which is why this test is usually done fasting for an accurate baseline reading. Elevated triglycerides are linked to increased cardiovascular risk and are commonly associated with excess calorie or sugar/refined carbohydrate intake, alcohol use, obesity, poorly controlled diabetes, or certain medications; very high levels can also raise the risk of pancreatitis. Triglycerides are one of the core components of a standard lipid panel, tested alongside HDL and LDL cholesterol.

Blood tests with Triglycerides

Explore available tests to better understand your results and gain deeper insights into your health.

Single marker

Cardio IQ® Triglycerides

 $3.49

This test measures the level of triglycerides in your blood. Triglycerides are a type of fat, and their levels can indicate your risk for various health conditions, including diabetes, liver diseases, and disorders affecting lipid metabolism. This test is also crucial for assessing the risk of coronary heart disease, especially when analyzed alongside high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and total serum cholesterol levels.

Lipid Panel, Standard

 $6.49

The Lipid Panel, Standard measures serum cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels; it includes evaluation of the cholesterol/HDL-C ratio (calculated), HDL-C, LDL-C (calculated), non-HDL-C (calculated), total cholesterol, and TG. Comprehensive lipid assessment aids in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk and the likelihood of suffering an ischemic event. It is also useful for the prevention and management of atherosclerotic disease, as well as the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome [1].

Why Is Cholesterol High? 5 Hidden Reasons

When people hear high cholesterol, the immediate assumption is often: I ate too much fat. I need to avoid eggs. I probably need medication. But cholesterol is one of the most misunderstood molecules in the body. Cholesterol is not simply something that builds up and causes problems. Your body uses cholesterol to produce estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, vitamin…
