Service Providers for Triglycerides
The Triglycerides test measures the amount of triglycerides (a type of fat) in the blood, helping assess heart disease risk and monitor conditions like high cholesterol or diabetes. Fasting for 9-12 hours before the test is typically required for accurate results. A blood sample is drawn from a vein, and risks include mild discomfort, bruising, or infection at the puncture site. High triglyceride levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, while low levels are usually not a concern. Certain conditions or medications can affect results. Normal activities can be resumed afterward.
