Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) presenting as acute pancreatitis (AP) in the setting of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare combination, reported as the enigmatic triad in literature. Here we present a case of a 26-year-old woman, with diabetes mellitus (DM) for three years, who presented with features suggestive of acute pancreatitis complicated with DKA in addition to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Evaluation revealed severe HTG to the tune of 9947 mg/dL. She was managed with insulin infusion combined with three sessions of plasmapheresis, which led to marked clinical and biochemical improvement. This case highlights the importance of plasmapheresis as a lifesaving therapeutic option for severe HTG-induced AP.

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
