Hypertriglyceridemia

Current criteria for diagnosis differs between guidelines and societies.

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