Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
3 months and 2 days ago, I went for my annual check-up.My blood was taken from my finger at my doctor office. I had already had my breakfast. The computer reading horrified me. Triglyceride - 610.??? On deaths door ! Was immediately put on Fenofibrate. Today received blood work results from Laboratory and Tri are 165. Does this make sense and should I continue with Fenofibrate meds. ? YYYY@YYYY
So ideally sample for lipid profile should be taken in a fasting state. I think the result were elevated as you had undergone breakfast. You can discontinue fenofibrate after discussing your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Loveleen Sharma, General & Family Physician
