What should I know about triglyceride zu hoch?

High triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) are a common finding in blood lipid panels and a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with low HDL or elevated LDL. Causes are typically multifactorial: obesity, high sugar intake, physical inactivity, excess alcohol, and genetic predisposition. From a nutrigenetic perspective, variants in genes such as LPL, APOA5, APOC3, and GCKR can influence individual triglyceride metabolism. A DNA test (e.g., from MyBody-X) can identify such risk variants, but it does not replace clinical diagnosis. The evidence for direct actionable recommendations from single gene variants is still moderate; however, personalized dietary advice (e.g., lower carbohydrate intake, increased omega-3 fatty acids) may be beneficial when a genetic predisposition is confirmed. Important: Very high triglycerides (>500 mg/dL) increase the risk of acute pancreatitis and require medical treatment. A self-test without physician guidance is insufficient.
