If triglyceride levels are between 200-400, what should be done?

When triglyceride levels are between 200-400 mg/dL, one approach to manage these levels effectively is to provide intermediate lipids (IL) at a dosage of 0.5 g/kg/d. This option addresses the need to supply essential fatty acids while also controlling the overall lipid intake to prevent exacerbation of elevated triglyceride levels.

Managing triglyceride levels often requires a balance between providing adequate nutrition and minimizing the risk factors associated with hypertriglyceridemia. By administering lipids in a controlled manner, it allows for the replenishment of energy and essential nutrients without increasing triglyceride levels too high.

Other choices, like stopping all lipid intake or reducing nitrogen intake, would not adequately address the need for proper nutrition and could lead to adverse nutritional deficiencies. The option of using a different source of lipids might be appropriate in certain clinical contexts, but without specific details indicating that the current source is unsuitable, it doesn't directly address the triglyceride management needed in this scenario.
