5 Triglyceride Tests - Multicare In Reagent Strips

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.
