Interpretations
High triglyceride levels are associated with increased natural tendency for heart disease. Increase in levels can be attributed to a number of causes -including a high-fat diet or one that is high in saturated fat, trans-fats and cholesterol, physical inactivity, being overweight, cigarette smoking, high alcohol consumption, diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disorders.
It can also co-exist with conditions such as type 2 diabetes or kidney disease.
When triglycerides are very high (greater than 1000 mg/dl), there is a risk of developing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) in children and adults.
