Reference ranges
Triglycerides reference range
Reference ranges describe the interval a laboratory prints next to your result. They are not a diagnosis of what is “normal” for you personally — your clinician interprets results in context.

What Triglycerides measures
After meals and from other sources, triglycerides circulate in the bloodstream. Labs quantify the concentration present in your sample at collection time.
Why ranges differ
Laboratories set their own reference intervals using their methods, equipment, and population data. That is why the range on your Quest report may differ from a LabCorp report — always use the interval printed on your source document.
Common units
Triglycerides is often reported in mg/dL. Confirm units on your original report before comparing values across time.
