What is the upper limit for triglycerides in a normal range?

• A. Less than 100 mg/dL
• B. Less than 120 mg/dL
• C. Less than 150 mg/dL
• D. Less than 200 mg/dL

Answer: (C)

Triglycerides are measured to assess how fats are circulating in the blood, with a standard fasting test (about 9–12 hours without eating). The normal reference range for fasting triglycerides tops out at 150 mg/dL. Values below this are considered normal, while 150–199 mg/dL is labeled borderline high, and 200 mg/dL or higher is categorized as high. So the upper limit of what’s considered a normal level is 150 mg/dL. This helps clinicians identify when triglycerides are elevated and potentially contributing to cardiovascular risk.
