Patient's question:
My grandmother isn't in very good health, and she's quite overweight. She had a thorough medical check-up at the hospital before, and it was found that her triglycerides are high. Now, I don't dare to give her high-calorie foods much. I'd like to understand what the dangers of high triglycerides are?Doctor's answer:
