Triglycerides, Urine
Overview
Triglycerides are fats in your body that store energy. When you eat, your body converts excess calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells, releasing them for energy between meals. Measuring triglycerides in urine provides insights into how your body processes and uses fats.
Triglycerides, Urine measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat, in your urine. While normally absent, elevated levels can indicate a rare condition called chyluria, where lymphatic fluid enters the urinary system.
