High triglyceride

In clinical practice, triglycerides are one of the components of blood lipids, and when triglycerides are too high, they can promote endothelial cell damage and lead to the development of atherosclerosis, and may also cause acute pancreatitis or liver and kidney disease. The causes of high triglycerides are mainly related to familial genetics, diabetes, kidney disease, abnormal immune function and other reasons, and tend to occur in people who are overweight or obese. When triglycerides are elevated, atherosclerosis occurs, which can easily lead to narrowing of the arteries. When the coronary arteries of the heart are involved, it can lead to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and even acute myocardial infarction may occur. If atherosclerosis as well as stenosis occurs in the arteries of the brain, it may trigger cerebral ischemia and even acute cerebral infarction, leading to a stroke in patients. In fact, no matter which organ of the body has atherosclerosis and narrowing of the arteries, it may lead to lesions or necrosis in that organ, and may even affect the function of the body and lead to limitation of activities. Patients with high triglycerides need to improve their lifestyle by controlling their diet, not eating fatty meats, reducing fried foods such as fried cakes, fried chicken and doughnuts, increasing exercise, losing weight and limiting alcohol consumption to help improve this condition. However, active treatment with lipid-lowering drugs is also needed, including triglyceride-lowering fibrates such as benzofibrate, fenofibrate and niacin such as acipimox, and cholesterol-lowering statins such as resulvastatin and atorvastatin.
