Triglycerides

This test measures the level of triglycerides, a type of fat found in your blood that your body uses for energy. It helps show how well your body processes fats and sugars, which is important for assessing your risk of heart disease and metabolic conditions. Doctors use these results to screen for lipid disorders or potential inflammation of the pancreas. However, this test does not identify the specific cause of high fat levels or diagnose heart disease on its own.
