Ability of non-fasting and fasting triglycerides to predict coronary artery disease in lupus patients.

Abstract

Although non-fasting TG levels were statistically higher than the fasting TG levels, the clinical significance of this difference is uncertain. TG (non-fasting and fasting) levels can predict CAD in lupus patients.
