Does early plasmapheresis rapidly reduce triglyceride levels and improve clinical outcomes in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis?
Early plasmapheresis may be an effective therapeutic option for rapidly lowering triglycerides and improving clinical outcomes in severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
Juneja et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Severe hypertriglyceridemia induced acute pancreatitis (n=2). Early plasmapheresis was evaluated on Reduction in serum triglycerides and clinical improvement. Early plasmapheresis rapidly reduced serum triglyceride levels and improved organ failure in two patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
