Hypertriglyceridemia treatment in Ciudad de México

Hypertriglyceridemia consists of high levels of triglycerides in the blood, a type of fat that the body uses as a source of energy. When they build up in excess, they can be associated with other health problems.

Common causes: It is usually related to a diet high in sugars and fats, being overweight, a sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption and, in some cases, hereditary factors.

How is it detected? It generally causes no symptoms and is identified through blood tests done during a medical check-up.

Who to consult? The general practitioner, the diabetologist and the integrated medicine specialist can interpret your results and guide the appropriate changes. If you have a family history or risk factors, a professional evaluation will help you better understand your blood fat profile.
