Population

40-year-old Japanese woman with a history of recurrent aggravation of hypertriglyceridaemia, pancreatitis, and miscarriages in three previous pregnancies.

Intervention

Strict dietary intervention during a fourth pregnancy.

Outcome

Avoidance of acute pancreatitis and birth of a healthy infant.

Strict dietary management during pregnancy in a patient with homozygous LPL deficiency can prevent acute pancreatitis and allow for a normal childbirth.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Strict dietary management may prevent pancreatitis in LPL-deficient pregnancy; leaves open generalizability from this single case.
