Is triglyceride 2.6 normal?

Triglycerides of 2.6 mmol/L over 1.7 mmol/L can be diagnosed as hypertriglyceridemia. Triglycerides are a component of lipids in the human body, and their main physiological function is to store energy, but also play a role in fixing internal organs. Under normal circumstances, the concentration in the body is usually less than 1.7mmol/L. If the measurement exceeds 1.7mmol/L for several times, it can be considered to be diagnosed as hypertriglyceridemia. The main danger of hypertriglyceridemia is an increase in adverse cardiovascular events, such as stroke, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction. In addition, it can cause acute pancreatitis, and in men it can cause sexual dysfunction, so it is important to pay attention to it and treat it. Treatment mainly includes the following factors: I. Dietary control, avoiding the intake of food containing too much saturated fatty acids. Second, quit smoking and limit alcohol, excessive alcohol consumption can cause a significant increase in blood triglycerides. Third, weight control, especially for overweight and obese people, the weight control in the normal range, is conducive to triglycerides to remain within the normal concentration range. Fourth, drug therapy, general triglyceride-lowering drugs are mainly beta-lipotropic drugs, statin drugs. In addition, niacin, ezetimibe and so on are also conducive to the lowering of triglycerides. It is believed that after the above comprehensive treatment, the concentration of triglyceride will generally be reduced to normal.
