OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical characteristics of acute pancreatitis (AP) patients with elevated serum triglyceride (TG) concentration.
METHODS
Ninety-nine cases of AP admitted from January 2000 to January 2002 were analyzed: 28 cases comprised the TG-elevated group (serum TG >1.7 mmol/L) and 71
A six-year-old, spayed female Shetland sheepdog was presented with acute onset of anorexia and vomiting. An inflammatory leukogram and elevated serum amylase, lipase, alkaline phosphatase, alanine transferase, and triglycerides supported a diagnosis of severe acute pancreatitis. An enlarged,
We report tamoxifen-induced hypertriglyceridemia and asymptomatic acute pancreatitis in a 51 year-old women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage III-b infiltrative ductal carcinoma, admitted to the hospital with weakness, oliguria and glucose dysregulation. On admission, there was no fever,
Plasmapheresis is a well-accepted treatment option in severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HTGP). The rationale behind this approach is the depletion of triglycerides and the reduction of inflammatory cytokines. The time span between onset of clinical symptoms and start of
A 30-year-old male presented to an outside facility with acute pancreatitis and triglycerides of 1594. He was transferred to our facility after becoming febrile, hypoxic and in acute renal failure with triglycerides of 4243. CT scan performed showed wall-off pancreatic necrosis. He underwent
Interrelationships between pregnancy, hypertriglyceridemia, and pancreatitis were assessed in three women with familial hypertriglyceridemia. One subject had known familial hypertriglyceridemia, familial type V hyperlipoproteinemia, prior to conception. In this woman a progressive increase in
The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ that releases water, bicarbonate and digestive enzymes by the main pancreatic duct (MPD) into the duodenum. Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is typically caused, in adults, by chronic alcohol abuse and, less frequently hypertriglyceridemia, primary
BACKGROUND
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a proteiform disease which may lead to various complications. Pancreatic pseudocysts and fluid collections are among the most frequent of them. The aim of our study was to find predictive factors of their occurrence.
METHODS
We carried out a retrospective cohort
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is the third most common cause of acute pancreatitis. In patients with severe HTG (TG level>1000 mg/dL), it may be beneficial to immediately lower the levels of triglyceride (TG) and chylomicrons. In this study, we present one of the largest case series on the use of
Extreme hypertriglyceridemia can lead to acute pancreatitis and rapid lowering of serum triglycerides (TG) is necessary for preventing such life-threatening complications. However, there is no established consensus on the acute management of extreme hypertriglyceridemia. We retrospectively reviewed
Background: This study aimed to analyze the genetics and treatments of the patients with the triad of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis (AP).
