Author(s): Dr. Giselle D’silva, Dr. Charvi Sankholkar and Dr. Rosemarie Desouza
Abstract: Hypertriglyceridemia is an unknown but well-established cause of acute pancreatitis following gall stones and alcohol. In addition to the supportive management of acute pancreatitis, specific therapeutic interventions for the reduction in levels of triglycerides like insulin, heparin and plasmapheresis have been studied and used in the management of hypertriglyceridemia induced pancreatitis. We report three cases of Hypertriglyceridemia induced severe acute pancreatitis with multi organ dysfunction who recovered with insulin and heparin therapy for lowering triglycerides and supportive management of the organ dysfunction associated with acute pancreatitis.
