Triglycerides are a family of lipids absorbed from the diet and produced endogenously from carbohydrates. Measurement of triglycerides is important in the diagnosis and management of hyperlipidemias. These diseases can be genetic or secondary to other disorders including nephrosis, diabetes mellitus and endocrine disturbances.
