Can Warfarin Cause Elevated Triglycerides?

Can warfarin possibly cause higher triglycerides? I have a client that is eating very healthy and exercising a lot, so he should not have high triglycerides. We have talked about the carbs, pasta, alcohol, fruit and juices and he barely eats any of those things. He eats less than 100 grams of carbs per day. He is currently taking red rice yeast, fish oils and vit D.
