Does reduction of triglyceride levels prevent recurrent episodes of pancreatitis in patients with hyperlipidemic pancreatitis?
Reduction of triglyceride levels below 1,000 mg/dL using dietary restriction and lipid-lowering medications is the mainstay of preventing recurrent hyperlipidemic pancreatitis.
Yadav et al. (2003) conducted a review in Hyperlipidemic Pancreatitis. Reduction of serum triglyceride levels to below 1,000 mg/dL using dietary restriction and lipid-lowering medications effectively prevents recurrent episodes of hyperlipidemic pancreatitis.
