what the risks are blood test, tg, triacylglycerol, test to measure the amount, triglyceride, in the blood, blood is drawn, a vein, on the inside, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins below the band to fill, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an air-tight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, an infant, young child, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, cotton, a bandage applied, puncture site, any continued bleeding, fast, 8 to 12 hours, advise to withhold drugs, affect the test, special considerations, infants, children, test depends on child's age, level of trust, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, triglycerides, measured, a reflection of fat, lipid, ingestion, metabolism, part of an evaluation of coronary risk factors, triglycerides comprise the largest proportion of fats, lipids, diet, adipose tissue, blood, after a meal, triglycerides appear, in the blood, the major constituent of chylomicrons, under normal circumstances, triglycerides, chylomicrons, stripped of fatty acids, they pass, various tissues, adipose, skeletal muscle, chylomicron remnant is then taken up by the liver so that chylomicrons disappear, blood, 2, 3 hours, remaining triglycerides, plus additional triglycerides synthesized, the liver, re-packaged, vldl, secreted, blood, liver, triglycerides, a storage form of energy, stored in adipose tissue, muscle, gradually released, metabolized between meals according, energy needs, less than 150 mg/dl, borderline high, 150-199 mg/dl, 200-499 mg/dl, very high, 500 mg/dl, high triglyceride levels associated, a higher risk, heart disease, stroke, people, high triglycerides often have other conditions, diabetes, obesity, increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease, high triglyceride levels, cirrhosis, familial hyperlipoproteinemia, rare, hypothyroidism, low protein in diet, high carbohydrates, poorly, controlled diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, pancreatitis, low levels, malabsorption syndrome, inadequate absorption of nutrients, in the intestinal tract, malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, low fat diet, additional conditions under which the test performed, chylomicronemia syndrome, familial combined hyperlipidemia, familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, familial hypertriglyceridemia, familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency, hyperlipidemia, acquired, noninsulin-dependent diabetes, nidd, stroke secondary to atherosclerosis, stroke secondary to carotid stenosis, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, pregnancy, interfere, test results, drugs, increase triglyceride measurements include cholestyramine, estrogens, oral contraceptives, drugs, decrease triglyceride measurements include ascorbic acid, asparaginase, clofibrate, colestipol, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
