What is the normal value of triglyceride

Regular physical examination is one of the most scientific and effective ways to prevent disease. Especially for obese people, it is necessary to test triglycerides regularly. According to the triglyceride value, some chronic diseases can be detected early. For example, coronary heart disease and kidney disease usually have increased triglycerides. If the triglyceride is too low, it is very likely to suffer from hyperthyroidism, cerebral infarction and many other diseases. So what is the normal value of triglycerides? Let’s find out below.

Based on the results of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hyperlipidemia is usually divided into the following four types:

1. Hypercholesterolemia: The total serum cholesterol level increases to more than 5.72 mmol/L, while the triglyceride level is normal, that is, triglycerides <1.70 mmol/L.

2. Hypertriglyceridemia: The serum triglyceride level is increased, exceeding 1.70 mmol/L, while the total cholesterol level is normal, that is, total cholesterol <5.72 mmol/L.

3. Combined hyperlipidemia: The serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels are both increased, that is, the total cholesterol exceeds 5.72 mmol/L and the triglyceride exceeds 1.70 mmol/L.

4. Hypohigh-density lipoproteinemia: The serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) level is reduced, <0.9 mmol/L.

Abnormal results

Increase: seen in coronary heart disease, myocardial sclerosis, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, etc. A level greater than 2.26 mmol/L is considered elevated and is called hypertriglyceridemia. Obese people tend to have higher triglycerides.

Decreased: common in hyperthyroidism, adrenal cortex insufficiency, liver parenchymal lesions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cerebral infarction, cachexia, primary low-density lipoprotein (β-lipoprotein) deficiency and indigestion.

People who need to be checked

Routine inspection is recommended to be performed regularly.
