Chylomicrons

Ordering Information	A request for Chylomicrons will result in the performance of a triglyceride test. Performance of a specific chylomicron test will then be decided upon by the chemical pathologist. A low triglyceride (less than 2.4 mmol/L) result indicates a sample is unlikely to be chylous, alternatively a high triglyceride result indicates a sample is likely positive for chylomicrons.
