Is the normal reference range for triglycerides 2.8 to 5.175 mmol/L?

The normal range for triglycerides is not 2.8–5.175 mmol/L. If triglyceride levels are abnormal, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. Specific analysis is as follows:

Triglycerides are lipids formed by the reaction of glycerol molecules with fatty acids, and they constitute one component of blood lipids, providing energy for cellular metabolism. They are typically measured through a blood lipid test, with a normal reference range of 0.45–1.69 mmol/L. A level between 2.8 and 5.175 mmol/L is considered elevated and may be associated with factors such as emotional stress, poor diet, obesity, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes. Excessively high triglyceride levels in the body may lead to discomforts such as left upper abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and other symptoms. If these symptoms occur, prompt medical evaluation is advised to prevent disease progression due to delayed treatment.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, engage in moderate physical activities such as running or walking, reduce intake of high-fat foods like fatty meats and cakes, and increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, cabbage, and lettuce, which are beneficial for overall health.
