Plasmapheresis may be a safe and effective method to rapidly decrease extremely high triglyceride levels in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
Ábel et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute recurrent pancreatitis (n=1). Plasmapheresis was evaluated on Triglyceride level reduction. Plasmapheresis safely and effectively reduced triglyceride levels and improved clinical parameters in a patient with severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis.
