Why the study?

Hypertriglyceridemia is an uncommon cause of acute pancreatitis, and triglyceride levels determine the method and duration of treatment.

Population

One 38-year-old male with acute pancreatitis and hypertriglyceridemia

Design

Case report

Discussion

Implication

May support insulin for rapid triglyceride reduction in pancreatitis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

1 38-year-old obese male (BMI 31.5 kg/m2) with hypertension, alcohol use disorder, and opioid use disorder presenting with moderately severe acute pancreatitis and severe hypertriglyceridemia (TGs 2,625 mg/dL).

Intervention

Intravenous insulin therapy and supportive treatment (intensive fluid hydration with dextrose, bowel rest, pain management).

Outcome

Reduction in triglyceride levels and clinical improvement of acute pancreatitis during hospitalizationsurrogate

Intravenous insulin therapy can rapidly and safely reduce severe hypertriglyceridemia and improve clinical outcomes in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
