| Abstract | Hypertriglyceridemia causes acute pancreatitis in 1.3-3.8% of patients. We report here on two cases with severe (triglyceride level >1000 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute recurrent pancreatitis. Both patients had uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia and suffered from acute pancreatitis. No cause of secondary hypertriglyceridemia was detected. While stage E pancreatitis (Ranson's score: 2) was diagnosed in the first case, stage D pancreatitis with a null Ranson's score was detected in the second case. Both patients were treated with classical treatment with fluid replacement, analgesic, antibiotics and discontinuation of oral intake. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with fresh frozen plasma was performed consecutively and with two procedures on the 2nd and 3rd day in the first case. After TPE, while the triglyceride levels decreased from 4408 to 302 mg/dL, the amylase levels dropped from 4234 to 171 IU/L. In the second case, TPE was performed once daily. After TPE, the levels of triglyceride and amylase decreased from 2210 mg/dL and 1618 IU/L to 154 mg/dL and 110 IU/L, respectively. Local and systemic complications due to acute pancreatitis were not observed. Clinical signs and laboratory values improved. At the two-year follow-up of both patients, acute pancreatitis had not recurred with regular fenofibrate treatment. Hypertriglyceridemia should be considered in patients with acute recurrent pancreatitis. Although there is no definitive evidence for early application of TPE in severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis yet, therapy with TPE may be of benefit, improving the clinical course. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
