Hypertriglyceridemia as a Cause of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Circuit Clotting: A Case Series.

Introduction: Hypertriglyceridemia is a rarely reported cause of early continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) circuit clotting.

Methods: We have identified and will present 11 published cases in the literature where hypertriglyceridemia has led to CRRT circuit clotting or dysfunction.

Results: The majority of cases (8/11) are related to propofol use leading to hypertriglyceridemia.

Observations: Our patient reported loss of light perception in both eyes (NLP) 2 hours after hemodialysis. Examination confirmed NLP vision, chronic retinal vascular changes, and no acute changes in optic nerve appearance.
