Pancreatitis Secondary to Hypertriglyceridemia: A Case Report

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is a very common inflammatory condition of the pancreas. Most cases of acute pancreatitis are caused by either biliary stones or alcohol. However, another common but often under looked cause of pancreatitis is hyperlipidemia, specifically, hypertriglyceridemia. We present the case of a 45 year old gentleman with a history of familial hyperlipidemia who presented with severe acute pancreatitis. On presentation the lab was unable to process his blood sample due to the severity of his hyperlipidemia. After treatment was initiated with intravenous insulin lab investigations showed severe hypertriglyceridemia. We will discuss this case followed by the different treatment modalities for hypertriglyceridemia induced acute pancreatitis.
