Abstract

Objective

To enhance the diagnosis and management of HTG-induced AP during pregnancy by improving early recognition, optimizing treatment strategies, and minimizing maternal and fetal complications.

She had severe hypertriglyceridemia (7855 mg/dL) and was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. After an emergency cesarean section, the patient received aggressive hydration, as well as fenofibrate and gemfibrozil as lipid-lowering agents, along with other supportive care. This treatment led to a successful recovery.

Conclusion

The management of HTG-induced AP must consider both maternal and fetal health, with options such as lipid-lowering agents and plasmapheresis being explored, further research was required to ascertain their safety during pregnancy.
