Triglycerides are medically one of the blood lipids that can be synthesized by the body through food intake. There are two types of causes of elevated triglycerides: secondary and primary. Secondary high triglycerides are commonly found in diseases such as nephrotic syndrome and diabetes, which usually do not cause high blood pressure. However, if atherosclerosis occurs in human body, the main factor is the abnormalities of human body’s blood lipids, and triglyceride is one of the components of human body’s blood lipids, therefore, if triglyceride is elevated, resulting in the occurrence of atherosclerosis, and human body’s blood vessels will appear to be hardened, narrowed, and then easy to cause high blood pressure.
