The Triglycerides test measures the level of triglycerides in the blood, a type of fat used by the body for energy. Elevated triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and may also reflect metabolic health and dietary fat intake.
This test is commonly used as part of a lipid panel or cardiovascular risk assessment. High triglyceride levels may be associated with obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, liver disease, or excessive alcohol intake. Results are typically interpreted alongside cholesterol levels and other lipid markers to evaluate overall heart health.
