PEG-asparaginase induced severe hypertriglyceridemia.
Asparaginase (ASP) is an effective chemotherapy agent extensively used in children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). There has been a recent interest in using ASP in adults with ALL, particularly the less toxic pegylated (PEG) formulation. Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a rare complication of PEG-ASP therapy. We report two cases of obese patients who developed severe HTG after receiving PEG...
متن کاملSevere Hypertriglyceridemia Induced Pancreatitis in Pregnancy
Acute pancreatitis caused by severe gestational hypertriglyceridemia is a rare complication of pregnancy. Acute pancreatitis has been well associated with gallstone disease, alcoholism, or drug abuse but rarely seen in association with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Hypertriglyceridemia may occur in pregnancy due to normal physiological changes leading to abnormalities in lipid metabolism. We rep...
متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...
متن کاملSerum free light chain measurement aids the diagnosis of myeloma in patients with severe renal failure
BACKGROUND Monoclonal free light chains (FLCs) frequently cause rapidly progressive renal failure in patients with multiple myeloma. Immunoassays which provide quantitative measurement of FLCs in serum, have now been adopted into screening algorithms for multiple myeloma and other lymphoproliferative disorders. The assays indicate monoclonal FLC production by the presence of an abnormal kappa t...
متن کاملA case of montelukast induced hypercholesterolemia, severe hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis.
Montelukast sodium is a leukotriene inhibitor, and competitively antagonizes cys-LT1 receptor and used widely and effectively in treating allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma and allied respiratory conditions. This case report outlines a rare case of montelukast induced hypercholesterolemia, severe hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis in a 22 years old male patient. The patient was taking...
