What is TG level in blood test?
The triglyceride level test helps measure the amount of triglycerides in your blood. Triglycerides are a type of fat, or lipid, found in the blood. The results of this test help your doctor determine your risk of developing heart disease.
How do you interpret triglyceride results?
For adults, triglyceride test results are categorized as follows:
- Desirable: Less than 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L)
- Borderline high: 150 to 199 mg/dL (1.7-2.2 mmol/L)
- High: 200 to 499 mg/dL (2.3-5.6 mmol/L)
- Very high: Greater than 500 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
What happens when TG is high?
High triglyceride levels may result in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which increases risks of stroke, heart attack, and heart disease. They can be part of metabolic syndrome, which also includes too much fat around the waist, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels.
What are normal non fasting triglyceride levels?
Normal: Less than 150 mg/dL or 1.7 mmol/L. Borderline high: 150–199 mg/dL or 1.7–2.2 mmol/L. High: 200–499 mg/dL or 2.3–5.6 mmol/L. Very high: Greater than 500 mg/dL or 5.6 mmol/L.
What are normal values for lipid profile?
Normal: Less than 150 mg/dL. Borderline high: 150 to 199 mg/dL. High: 200 to 499 mg/dL. Very high: Above 500 mg/dL.
What are normal numbers for HDL and LDL?
Men age 20 or older:
| Type of Cholesterol | Healthy Level |
|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | 125 to 200mg/dL |
| Non-HDL | Less than 130mg/dL |
| LDL | Less than 100mg/dL |
| HDL | 40mg/dL or higher |
How is Thyroglobulin ( Tg ) and Tg antibody tested?
Thyroglobulin (Tg) and Tg Antibody (TgAb) Testing for Patients Treated for Thyroid Cancers By Carole Spencer, Ph.D., F.A.C.B President, 2001-2002, American Thyroid Association The measurement of the protein Thyroglobulin (abbreviated Tg) in blood, is an important laboratory test for checking whether a patient still has some thyroid present.
Can a laboratory validate the TG normal interval?
Laboratories should validate their Tg normal reference interval independent of the manufacturer.
What is the normal range for thyroglobulin ( Tg )?
Guideline 48. Serum Tg Normal Reference Intervals. Tg reference ranges should be established from the log transformed values of 120 normal, non-smoking, euthyroid (TSH 0.5 to 2.0 mIU/L) subjects less than 40 years of age with no personal or family history of thyroid disease and with no evidence of TgAb or TPOAb.
Do you need to measure TgAb in every specimen?
Serial TgAb Measurements: It is important for the laboratory to measure TgAb in every specimen sent for Tg measurement.
