Test Code

The Triglycerides (TG) test measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat (lipid), present in the blood. Triglycerides are derived from excess calories and stored in fat cells to provide energy between meals.

High triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, pancreatitis, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and uncontrolled diabetes. The TG test is commonly performed as part of a lipid profile and helps evaluate overall lipid balance, lifestyle impact, and response to dietary or medical treatment.
