Detailed explanation-1: -Low triglyceride levels may be due to: Low fat diet. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) Malabsorption syndrome (conditions in which the small intestine does not absorb fats well)
Detailed explanation-2: -Patients with AIH cirrhosis who presented low triglyceride levels (0.5-0.8 mmol/L) had a greater risk of death. TG, a lipid metabolism indicator, has been considered strongly associated with adverse outcomes of patients with liver cirrhosis or HCC in several studies.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is Considered Low Triglycerides? There isn’t an official cutoff for low triglycerides. Most labs will consider any value below 150 mg/dL normal and values below 90 mg/dL as optimal. If you are healthy and your values are lower than normal, you probably have nothing to worry about – on the contrary.
