In the US triglycerides (which is accurate only if it was done fasting) are measured as 278 mg/dL while in Spain the number should have been 3.2 mmol/L. The goal is less than 150 (1.7) but the good news is that triglycerides at this level respond very well to diet. A diet low in fats, fried foods, and red meat is usually successful. In general olive oil is the best 'oil'. It would be of interest to know your LDL and HDL cholesterol.

It is Tryglycerides:
Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. They're also present in blood plasma and, in association with cholesterol, form the plasma lipids.
Triglycerides in plasma are derived from fats eaten in foods or made in the body from other energy sources like carbohydrates. Calories ingested in a meal and not used immediately by tissues are converted to triglycerides and transported to fat cells to be stored. Hormones regulate the release of triglycerides from fat tissue so they meet the body's needs for energy between meals.
Excess triglycerides in plasma is called hypertriglyceridemia. It's linked to the occurrence of coronary artery disease in some people. Elevated triglycerides may be a consequence of other disease, such as untreated diabetes mellitus. Like cholesterol, increases in triglyceride levels can be detected by plasma measurements. These measurements should be made after an overnight food and alcohol fast.
The National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines for triglycerides are:
Normal Less than 150 mg/dL
Borderline-high 150 to 199 mg/dL
High 200 to 499 mg/dL
Very high 500 mg/dL or higher

The answers above are all correct, but having high triglycerides also predisposes you to diabetes. One huge reason to lower overall cholesterol and the triglycerides. Talk with your physician to see if diet alone will be your best bet or may a antilipemic (med to lower your chol). Best of health to you.

Its the fats in your blood. Triglycerides. You need to start controlling your diet, eating healthy and getting some exercise. high levels of triglycerides can predispose you to having many dieases in the furture ie heart disease and even some cancers...basically be proactive

A cholesterol test will look for percentage of triglycerides in the blood - it does appear high

I think this refers to the fat content in your blood so I would go and see your doctor if I were you.
