What is the name of the test for triglycerides?

Testing the level of triglycerides in the blood is commonly referred to as "blood lipid analysis" or "lipid profile test," which is a common medical test used to evaluate lipid components in the blood. Specifically, a lipid profile usually includes measurements of four key indicators: total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). These four indicators together are collectively known as the "four lipid parameters."

In a lipid profile, the normal range for triglycerides is generally 0.45–1.69 mmol/L. If triglyceride levels are too high, it may lead to hypertriglyceridemia, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Therefore, doctors may recommend this test, especially for individuals with high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, or a family history of cardiovascular disease.
