Patient's question:
I am 47 years old, male, and have a relatively overweight build. Yesterday, my triglyceride level was measured at 35. Is this a normal result? Could you please help me interpret this result for me? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
If a patient's triglycerides exceed 35, it is already high, similar to the condition of hyperlipidemia, and timely intervention is necessary to alleviate it. High triglycerides are a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, easily leading to conditions such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, and cerebral thrombosis. Abnormal liver metabolism and dysfunctional lipid decomposition, as well as poor dietary structure and habits, are closely related to high blood lipid levels.
