what are the Recommendations for Hypertriglyceridemia?
In adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglycerides ?500 mg/dL [?5.7 mmol/L]), and especially fasting triglycerides ?1000 mg/dL (11.3 mmol/L)), it is reasonable to identify and address other causes of hypertriglyceridemia), and if triglycerides are persistently elevated or increasing, to further reduce triglycerides by implementation of a very low-fat diet, avoidance of refined carbohydrates and alcohol, consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, and, if necessary to prevent acute pancreatitis, fibrate therapy.S
