4. Symptoms and Complications of High Triglyceride
Triglycerides produce no symptoms unless they rise to a very high level, over 500 mg per dL. Small fat deposits may appear just under the skin, and belly pain and pancreatic inflammation are possible with very high triglyceride levels.4‘High Triglycerides.’ Beth Israel Lahey Health, www.winchesterhospital.org/health-library/article?id=11767.
Pancreatic inflammation, known as pancreatitis, can lead to nausea and vomiting, along with diarrhea. Triglyceride levels at or over 2,000 milligrams per dL can cause a fat buildup in the retina of the eye and fatty liver deposits.3Triglycerides: A big fat problem.’ Harvard Medical School, www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter/article/triglycerides-a-big-fat-problem.
