Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 95 cases of acute pancreatitis from 1975 to 1979, finding that 3.8% were linked to hyperlipoproteinemia, primarily caused by dietary abuse or contraceptive use in the affected patients.
- Clinical manifestations in these cases were more severe, showing symptoms such as shock, respiratory failure, and extremely high lipid levels in the blood (over 4000 mg%).
- Pathologically, the patients had acute cholecysto-pancreatitis with extensive hemorrhagic necrosis; while two patients survived with complications, the other two succumbed to septic issues and hemorrhage.
