<unk> , or type 4 hyperlipidemia has high concentration of triglycerides in the blood. It is also known as<unk>  (or pure<unk> .<unk>  denotes high (hyper-) blood levels (-emia) of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms. Triglyceride levels are usually not extremely elevated in cases of<unk> . Elevated levels of triglycerides can be detrimental to normal cardiac functioning. It has been associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels). Very high triglyceride levels may also interfere with blood tests, hyponatremia may be reported spuriously (pseudohyponatremia). A related term is "hyperglyceridemia," or "hyperglyceridaemia," which refers to a high level of all glycerides, including monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides.
