Zieve's syndrome (ZS) is a triad of hemolytic anemia, cholestatic jaundice and hyperlipidemia that presents in the setting of alcohol abuse and liver disease. ZS is not well known and remains underdiagnosed. We present a case of ZS in a 38-year-old female with a history of chronic alcohol abuse and pancreatitis to raise awareness of ZS. It is important for ZS to be recognized promptly to avoid unnecessary and possibly harmful interventions.

Zieve syndrome is a rare diagnosis seen in patients with chronic alcohol use which consists of a distinct clinical triad of hyperlipidemia, hemolytic anemia, and jaundice. Patients typically have an elevated reticulocyte count due to the hemolytic nature of the anemia. We present the case of a 44-year-old female who was discovered to have an unusual variant of Zieve syndrome with a normal reticulocyte count, which was believed to be due to suppression of bone marrow from excessive alcohol consumption.
