Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)-induced hypertriglyceridemia causing pancreatitis is an interesting phenomenon that has rarely been reported in literature. Plasmapharesis is a well known treatment modality for hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis. We report a patient with DKA-induced hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis treated successfully with plasmapharesis.

Decreased neuronal excitability in hypertriglyceridemia hamsters with acute seizures.

Introduction: Neonatal seizures are the most common clinical manifestation of neurological dysfunction in newborns, with an incidence ranging from 1 to 5‰. However, the therapeutic efficacy of current pharmacological treatments remains suboptimal. This study aims to utilize genetically modified hamsters with hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) to investigate the effects of elevated triglycerides on neuronal excitability and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

This study aimed to explore whether ultra-early indicators can predict the severity of acute hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP) and guide clinical decisions. This retrospective study analyzed data from HTGP patients who were categorized into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) and moderately severe/severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP/SAP) groups based on their final clinical outcomes. Ultra-early indicators (serum calcium, triglyceride [TG], interleukin-6 [IL-6], D-dimer, hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c], arterial lactate) were measured within 6 h of admission.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores factors that influence how well patients with hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTG-AP) reach their targeted plasma volume during treatment with double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP).
- A total of 82 patients were analyzed, with significant differences in factors like heart rate and triglyceride levels found between groups classified as 'up-to-scratch' versus 'non-scratch'.
- Higher levels of triglycerides and fibrinogen were identified as independent risk factors, with an increase in triglycerides leading to a 5% greater chance of not reaching plasma goals, and each rise in fibrinogen increasing that risk by 74%.
BACKGROUNDWhile most hypertriglyceridemia is asymptomatic, hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) can be more severe than AP of other etiologies. The reasons underlying this are unclear. We thus examined whether lipolytic generation of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) from circulating triglycerides (TGs) could worsen clinical outcomes.

Background: Post‑acute pancreatitis prediabetes/diabetes mellitus (PPDM‑A) is one of the common sequelae of acute pancreatitis (AP). The aim of our study was to build a machine learning (ML)-based prediction model for PPDM-A in hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTGP).
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 165 patients for our study.
