Key result
A 12-year-old female with severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis and diabetic ketoacidosis was successfully managed with insulin therapy and fluid resuscitation, achieving normalized lipid levels.

Hypertriglyceridemia is a recognized cause of acute pancreatitis in adults but remains an uncommon etiology in pediatric patients, especially alongside new-onset diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis.
Population

Supports screening for hypertriglyceridemia in pediatric DKA pancreatitis; hypothesis-generating for combined management.
Case Report (n=1)
Severe hypertriglyceridemia can induce acute pancreatitis and present simultaneously with diabetic ketoacidosis in pediatric patients, requiring prompt insulin therapy to address both conditions.
Parrilla et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis and diabetic ketoacidosis (n=1). Insulin therapy and fluid resuscitation was evaluated on Clinical recovery and normalization of triglyceride levels. A 12-year-old female with severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis and diabetic ketoacidosis was successfully managed with insulin therapy and fluid resuscitation, achieving normalized lipid levels.
