Is VLDL 61 high, normal or dangerous? What does Very low density lipoprotein level 61 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: November 27, 2025

Your VLDL level of 61 is a High VLDL level.

A VLDL level of 61 mg/dL usually means the body is producing too many very low-density lipoproteins. It suggests high triglyceride levels. High levels of VLDL can cause abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, fatty liver disease, and increased risk of heart disease and pancreatitis. This can be caused by obesity, diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption, hypothyroidism, or genetic disorders. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

High VLDL levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 5 mg/dL and 30 mg/dL. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.

The normal VLDL range for men is :5 - 30 mg/dL
