Triglycerides of 7.98 mmol/L are significantly elevated.
Triglycerides are lipids formed by the reaction between glycerol molecules and fatty acids, which are a kind of blood lipids and can provide energy for cellular metabolism, and their normal range should be less than 1.7mmol/L. Therefore, when the triglycerides are 7.98mmol/L, it suggests that they are obviously elevated.
High triglycerides can be caused by physiological and pathological factors, physiological factors include lack of exercise, often eat high-fat food, obesity, etc., pathological factors include diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, etc..
The danger of high triglycerides is most directly reflected in atherosclerosis. The consequence of high triglycerides is that it is easy to cause blood thickening caused by high lipid content in the blood, which deposits on the walls of blood vessels and blocks the blood vessels, gradually forming small plaques, i.e., atherosclerosis, which we usually say, thus triggering coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital if you have an abnormal triglyceride concentration in your blood, and ask your doctor to make a judgment and treat you under his or her guidance.
