If you google "post-mortem changes triglycerides" there are a number of
findings, several of which state that there are quite large increases in
trigs in the immediate PM period.

 

But as I said in my earlier post, a fibrate would be preferable to a
statin.

Dear Mail Base,

 

We have been asked by a coroner to measure triglycerides post-mortem.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge regarding how to interpret
triglyceride levels around 2-4 days post-mortem? What happens to trigs
post-mortem?

 

Any advice gratefully received.

 

Many Thanks,

 

Owen.
