Hypertriglyceridaemia

Current criteria for diagnosis differs between guidelines and societies.

Endocrine Society:[8]
- Normal TG: <1.7 mmol/L (<150 mg/dL)
- Mild HTG: 1.7 to 2.3 mmol/L (150-199 mg/dL)
- Moderate HTG: 2.3 to 11.2 mmol/L (200-999 mg/dL)
- Severe HTG: 11.2 to 22.4 mmol/L (1000-1999 mg/dL)
- Very severe HTG: >22.4 mmol/L (≥2000 mg/dL)
American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology:[2]
- Moderate HTG: 2.0 to 5.6 mmol/L (175-499 mg/dL)
- Severe HTG: ≥5.6 mmol/L (≥500 mg/dL)
  Note: for moderate HTG, the 2021 American College of Cardiology expert consensus uses a definition of fasting TG ≥1.7 mmol/L (≥150 mg/dL) or non-fasting TG ≥2.0 mmol/L (≥175 mg/dL) and TG <5.6 mmol/L (<500 mg/dL).[9]
European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society:[11]
- Mild-to-moderate HTG: 2-10 mmol/L (175-885 mg/dL)
- Severe HTG: >10 mmol/L (>885 mg/dL)
