high triglycerides
Excess circulating lipids
High triglycerides is a medical condition where blood contains elevated levels of triglycerides—a type of fat the body uses for energy storage.
The threshold for "high" is typically 150-200 mg/dL or above.
Doctors flag high triglycerides as a risk factor for heart disease and pancreatitis: His bloodwork came back with high triglycerides, so he's cutting back on sugar.
