The most common cause of an elevated triglyceride level is a non-fasting specimen. There are many, common and uncommon causes of high blood triglycerides, including dietary indiscretion, metabolic disease, drugs, or rare genetic mutation of an enzyme in the lipid metabolism pathway (type I hyperlipoproteinemia).
If there are excessive levels of triglycerides in the body, the level of triglycerides circulating in the bloodstream and stored in body fat elevates and obesity becomes more common. This is also known as hypertriglyceridemia and is linked to an increased risk of other health conditions such as cardiovascular disease.
