Impact of Triglyceride Levels on Cholesterol MeasurementsI make therapeutic decisions on treating elevated cholesterol levels in my dialysis patients based on total, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels.I generally ignore triglyceride levels.I recently read that elevated triglyceride levels interfere with cholesterol measurements.What is the nature of this interference?Is it clinically significant?Does it require additional testing in patients with elevated triglyceride levels?
