Implication

May support adjunctive use in refractory hyperlipidemic pancreatitis; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (>1000 mg/dL) and acute pancreatitis
I
Intervention
Standard medical therapies (lipid-lowering agents, low molecular weight heparin, insulin) and therapeutic plasma exchange

Therapeutic plasma exchange serves as a valuable non-pharmacological option for managing severe hypertriglyceridemia-related acute pancreatitis refractory to standard medical therapy.
