Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Yes, 450 is very high risk and should be reduced.2. There are hereditary disorders with elevated levels of triglycerides. However, at present you are having obesity related hypertriglyceridemia. It's not genetic. Evaluation for metabolic syn Chat Doctor. 3. Need at least 20 kg weight reduction. Regular aerobic exercises is also necessary. At this level, if you are not able to reduce, you can go for LDL apheresis for immediate reduction and future maintenance. Medications like vibrates and statins could help, however, at these levels LDL apheresis is necessary. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
