Key result
Intravenous insulin and heparin infusion reduced serum triglyceride levels by 50% (from 10,320 mg/dl to 5407 mg/dl) within 24 hours in a patient with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.

Does intravenous insulin and heparin infusion reduce triglyceride levels in a patient with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis?
Intravenous insulin and heparin infusion rapidly reduced serum triglyceride levels in a patient with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Heparin-insulin may support triglyceride reduction in hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis; leaves open efficacy confirmation in controlled trials.
Jain et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (n=1). Intravenous insulin and heparin infusion was evaluated on Serum triglyceride level. Intravenous insulin and heparin infusion reduced serum triglyceride levels by 50% (from 10,320 mg/dl to 5407 mg/dl) within 24 hours in a patient with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
