Study of Hypertriglyceridemia in Young Adults
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia is a commonly encountered lipid abnormality mostly associated with other lipid and metabolic derangements. It is a cause of concern as it is associated with coronary artery disease and pancreatitis. The aim of the study is to estimate the levels of serum triglyceride among young adults. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry, Central Laboratory, SreeBalaji Medical College and Hospital, Chromepet, Chennai during April-July 2016. The fasting blood samples were collected from 250 healthy volunteers in the age group of 20 – 30 years using vacuum system. Samples for lipid profile was collected in red topped plain vacuum tube. The samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes. The samples were then analysed in Mindray BS 390 automated analyser.GlycerokinasePeroxidase-Peroxidase method was used to determine triglyceride concentration. The data were analysed using SPSS package. The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia noted in the study population was 30%. Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a high-risk factor for developing pancreatitisand coronary artery disease, which is could be due to lifestyle changes such as high fat diet, alcoholism, obesity and genetic factors. Hence it is necessary to keep a regular check on the triglyceride values in young adults to reduce the morbidity of hypertriglyceridemia.
