If your doctor tells you that you've got an enlarged liver, it means it's swollen beyond its normal size. There's usually another condition that's causing it, such as hepatitis. You have a lot of treatment choices, but you first need to find out the source of the problem.
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body uses them for energy. You need some triglycerides for good health. But high triglycerides might raise your risk of heart disease and may be a sign of metabolic syndrome.
The fat-protein complexes in the blood are called lipoproteins. The best-known lipoproteins are LDL (low density lipoprotein) and hdl (high density lipoprotein). Excess LDL cholesterol contributes to the blockage of arteries, which eventually leads to heart attack.
