Normal triglyceride levels vary by age and sex. People with high triglycerides often have a high total cholesterol level, including a high LDL (bad) cholesterol level and a low HDL (good) cholesterol level. Many people with metabolic syndrome or diabetes also have high triglyceride levels.
A blood test to check cholesterol levels — called a lipid panel or lipid profile — typically reports: Total cholesterol. LDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol. Triglycerides — a type of fat in the blood. Generally you're required to fast, consuming no food or liquids other than water, for nine to 12 hours before the test.
Too much cholesterol in the body can clog arteries. Total cholesterol is the sum of all the cholesterol in your blood. Your risk for heart attack and stroke increases with higher cholesterol levels. Other risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and family history of heart disease or stroke.
