Clinical Study of 224 Patients with Hypertriglyceridemia Pancreatitis
BACKGROUND Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is the most common etiology of acute pancreatitis (AP) after alcohol and gallstone-induced disease. Elevation of serum triglyceride (TG) levels to ≥ 1000 mg/dl in a patient with AP strongly indicates HTG as the cause. The absolute risk of pancreatitis based on serum TG ≤ 1000 mg/dl has not been clearly defined. The aims of this study were to address the rol...
متن کاملPancreatitis Induced by Hypertriglyceridemia
The detailed pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the progression of hypertriglyceridemia to pancreatitis are little known. Using an animal model we have found that the earliest detectable changes caused by hypertriglyceridemia consist of a selective degeneration of the mitochondria in the exocrine pancreas cells. This supports the view that an excess of free fatty acids deranges the mitoc...
متن کاملMilk pancreatitis with hypertriglyceridemia and diabetic ketoacidosis
Excessive milk intake may lead to diabetic ketoacidosis and acute pancreatitis. A 55-year-old milk salesperson with diabetes and dyslipidemia presented with a 5-day history of fatigue and thirst. The patient had drunk a large amount of milk for 2 months prior to the admission. Laboratory data showed metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, ketonuria, hypertriglyceridemia, and elevated serum amylase. ...
متن کاملFamilial hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis: A case report
Acutepancreatitis can infrequently be a life-threatening complication of hypertriglyceridemia. Rarely, hypertriglyceridemia can originate from an inborn genetic error in lipoproteins metabolism. This condition can be manifested by very high serum triglyceride levels (>1000 mg/dl) and a more severe and lethal form of pancreatitis. Here, we present a case of acute pancreatic which was found out t...
متن کاملHypertriglyceridemia independent propofol-induced pancreatitis.
CONTEXT Propofol can cause acute pancreatitis related to hypertriglyceridemia, however, other mechanisms may also exist. CASE REPORT A 71-year-old male on propofol infusion in the intensive care setting, developed acute pancreatitis as confirmed biochemically and by imaging. He did not have any elevation of triglycerides and on propofol re-challenge, had recurrence of pancreatitis with the ab...
