Should not yet change practice in pediatric HTG-AP; leaves open optimal TG-lowering strategies for prospective trials.
What management approaches effectively reduce triglycerides in pediatric patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis?
In pediatric hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis, NPO, higher IVF rates, plasmapheresis, and insulin effectively reduce triglyceride levels.
