High Triglycerides

When a lab test shows high levels of fats in the blood, it's worth reviewing with professional support to protect your cardiovascular health. Elevated triglycerides refers to a higher-than-desirable level of this type of fat that circulates in the blood and that the body uses as a source of energy.

Characteristics: they usually don't cause noticeable symptoms, so they are detected mainly through blood tests and follow-up.

Common causes: diet, excess weight, low physical activity, alcohol consumption, and certain metabolic conditions can influence their levels.

Which specialist can help? The nutritionist is a great source of support for reviewing eating and lifestyle habits related to this condition. If your tests show high values, discussing them with a professional will help you understand what steps to take.
