Multicare In Triglycerides test strips allow you to quickly measure the level of triglycerides in the blood. These lipids, derived from food and stored as an energy reserve, can represent a cardiovascular risk factor when they are in excess. Regular monitoring is therefore essential to prevent complications related to a level that is too high.
This test is particularly recommended for people with risk factors such as a diet high in sugars and fats, excessive alcohol consumption or low physical activity. It is also useful for people with diabetes, hypertension or a family history of cardiovascular disease.
To ensure a reliable measurement , it is imperative to perform the test after fasting for at least 12 hours . A single drop of capillary blood is enough to obtain an accurate result in 30 seconds , thus facilitating regular monitoring.
Main features
The strips are designed for use with the Multicare In analyzer, ensuring a fast and accurate reading. They cover a measuring range of 50 to 500 mg/dl and must be stored between 5 and 30°C to ensure their effectiveness.
Interpretation of results
The results obtained make it possible to assess the level of triglycerides in the blood:
- A level below 150 mg/dl is considered normal.
- Between 150 and 200 mg/dl , this is a moderately high threshold requiring increased monitoring.
- A value above 200 mg/dL indicates a high level and may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
- If the level exceeds 500 mg/dl , it is recommended to consult a health professional quickly, as this may indicate a significant risk of pancreatitis.
These strips offer a simple and quick solution for monitoring your triglyceride level and taking the necessary measures in the event of an abnormality.
