Triglycerides of 20 mmol/L in the short term do not usually lead directly to death, but the magnitude of their elevated value at this time is more suggestive of the development of celiac disease. According to the 2007 “Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Chinese Adults”, a fasting (12-hour fast) triglyceride level of 1.70 mmol/L or less is considered appropriate, 1.70-2.25 mmol/L is considered borderline elevated, and greater than or equal to 2.26 mmol/L is considered elevated. Triglycerides of 20 mmol/L can be judged as hypertriglyceridemia. In this case, it is important to eat a low-salt, low-fat diet and take lipid-lowering drugs for improvement. Because of its relatively high value, it is difficult to bring it down to normal level simply by exercise and weight loss. The preferred lipid-lowering drugs are beta-lipid-lowering drugs, such as benzofibrate and fenofibrate. Patients with familially inherited hypertriglyceridemia need to take lipid-lowering drugs for life in order to maintain their lipids at a relatively normal level. Increased triglycerides are a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (such as stroke, angina pectoris, heart attack, coronary heart disease). Long-term elevation of triglycerides can accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis and cause serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lesions, even resulting in stroke or acute myocardial infarction episodes, which may lead to death in severe cases.
