Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) can cause pancreatitis. This case highlights necrotizing pancreatitis with normal pancreatic enzymes, even with high triglyceride levels, emphasizing diagnostic challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a recognized, though rare, cause of acute pancreatitis.
  • Severe HTG, particularly Type IV, is associated with increased pancreatitis risk.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes can exacerbate lipid metabolism disorders.

Observation:

  • A case of necrotizing pancreatitis was observed in a patient with severe HTG and diabetes.
  • Imaging studies confirmed necrotizing pancreatitis.
  • Serum pancreatic enzymes were notably normal despite imaging findings.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates HTG-induced necrotizing pancreatitis with normal pancreatic enzyme levels.
  • Serum triglyceride levels were below or equal to 1,000 mg/dL.

  • This presentation challenges typical diagnostic markers for pancreatitis.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering HTG in pancreatitis etiology, even with normal enzyme levels.
    • Suggests imaging is crucial for diagnosing HTG-induced pancreatitis when enzyme levels are atypical.
    • Contributes to understanding hyperlipidemic pancreatitis in the Korean population.
