Use

The Triglycerides, Serum or Plasma test is used to assess cardiovascular disease risk and guide therapy. It provides important information on lipid levels, which are crucial in determining the risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Normal fasting serum triglycerides concentration in adults should be 149 mg/dL or less, borderline-high is 150 to 199 mg/dL, high is 200 to 499 mg/dL, and very high is 500 mg/dL or greater. Accurate measurement is essential for the effective management and treatment of patients at risk of cardiovascular events.
