I'm really worried because my triglycerides are at 471. I'm concerned if this could be a sign of heart disease. I tried using fibrates to help with it, but then my creatine levels went up. What should I do now? Any advice would be really helpful.

Since fibrates caused an increase in your creatinine levels, you may consider using statins such as Atorvastatin at a low dose to help lower your triglycerides. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication regimen.
