Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition that can occur during pregnancy.
  • Hypertriglyceridemia, particularly extreme levels, is a known risk factor for pancreatitis.
  • Pregnancy can exacerbate lipid metabolism abnormalities.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old pregnant woman at 34 weeks gestation presented with acute pancreatitis.
  • The likely cause was extreme combined hyperlipidemia.
  • The patient required seven complicated surgeries and prolonged intensive post-operative care.

Findings:

  • The patient and her baby had a favorable outcome a year after the pancreatitis episode.
  • Pancreatic function was restored.

  • Plasma lipid levels were normalized with appropriate medication.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the critical relationship between severe hypertriglyceridemia, pregnancy, and acute pancreatitis.
    • Effective management of hyperlipidemia is crucial in pregnant patients at risk.
    • Further research into the mechanisms linking these conditions is warranted.
