When lab tests show an excess of fats in the blood, this is referred to as high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, a disorder of lipid metabolism that often goes unnoticed.
It is a higher-than-desirable concentration of these substances, which circulate in the blood and, over time, can affect the arteries and the heart.
Why it matters: It usually causes no symptoms, so it is discovered on routine tests; keeping it monitored helps protect cardiovascular health.
Who evaluates it? The internist, the endocrinologist, and the cardiologist are frequent points of reference, and the nutritionist supports with dietary habits. If your lab results come back abnormal, it is advisable to review them with a professional who can guide the next steps.
