What a high VLDL means, and common causes

The particle that carries triglycerides is raised. It is calculated from triglycerides rather than measured, so it rises and falls with them.

Common causes: The same causes as high triglycerides: sugary drinks, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, obesity, uncontrolled diabetes, and a non-fasting sample.

What a low VLDL means, and common causes

A low VLDL is favourable and needs no action.

Common causes: Not applicable.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 2 to 30 mg/dL.
On a standard lipid profile it is calculated as triglycerides divided by five, so it adds little beyond the triglyceride value itself.
Triglycerides kam karne wale upay hi kaam karte hain: meetha, maida aur sharab ghatana.
