If your doctor tells you that you've got an enlarged liver, it means it's swollen beyond its normal size. There's usually another condition that's causing it, such as hepatitis. You have a lot of treatment choices, but you first need to find out the source of the problem.
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body uses them for energy. You need some triglycerides for good health. But high triglycerides might raise your risk of heart disease and may be a sign of metabolic syndrome.
The fat that sits inside your fat cells or travels through your blood is mostly in the form of triglycerides. When you eat fatty foods, your blood levels of triglycerides go up. Your body also saves energy it gets from eating carbohydrates, such as simple sugars, by converting them into triglycerides. Along with cholesterol, high triglyceride levels are linked to heart disease.
