A triglyceride test is a blood test that measures triglycerides, a type of fat (lipid) in your blood that the body uses for energy. Elevated triglyceride levels, often checked as part of a lipid panel (or lipid profile), can indicate an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and pancreatitis. The test requires a blood sample from a vein in your arm and usually requires an 8-12 hour fasting period beforehand to ensure accurate results.
What the test measures
Triglycerides are fats stored in the body to provide energy.
High levels of triglycerides are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular issues and a severe form of pancreatitis.
The test is a component of a lipid profile, which also measures cholesterol levels to assess overall heart health.
How the test is performed
Blood Draw: A healthcare professional will draw a blood sample from a vein, usually in the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Preparation: You will typically need to fast for 8 to 12 hours before the test, and your doctor may advise you to temporarily stop certain medications or supplements.
Normal triglyceride levels (adults)
Healthy: Under 150 mg/dL.
Borderline High: 150-199 mg/dL.
High: 200-499 mg/dL.
Very High: Over 500 mg/dL.
Why the test is important
It helps evaluate your risk of heart attack and stroke.
High levels can contribute to metabolic syndrome (a combination of high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity).
It can also lead to narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
