Aim: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis in patients of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis with or without diabetes.

Methods: 157 patients with hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP) were included in this study. Patients with a previous history of diabetes were identified in the group of HTGP with diabetes (HTGPD), while patients without a history of diabetes were identified in the group of HTGP. The clinical characteristics and prognosis data of these patients in the two groups were analyzed.

Results: Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, body mass index, glycated serum protein (GSP), and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score were significantly associated with mortality in patients with HTGP. The mortality was significantly higher in the HTGPD group than in the HTGP group ( < 0.001). Compared to patients of HTGP, those of HTGPD had older age of onset, higher blood glucose levels, and higher GSP levels on admission. Electrocardiograms showed that patients of HTGPD had a significantly higher risk of heart ischemia than those of HTGP ( < 0.05). Patients of HTGPD had higher APACHE II scores than those of HTGP ( < 0.001). Single-factor analysis showed that higher triglyceride levels, GSP, LDL, and previous history of diabetes were associated with HTGP recurrence.

Conclusions: Clinicians should be alert to patients of HTGP with diabetes. Diabetes is an important risk factor for HTGP and hyperglycemia may affect the development and prognosis of HTGP.

To support the evidence of plasma exchange's ability to rapidly lower serum TG levels and provide upcoming research opportunities for evaluating the long-term effects of this treatment, we present the case of a 35-year-old female who was admitted for Hypertriglyceridemia-induced Pancreatitis (HTGP). She underwent Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) using Spectra Optia Apheresis System on an emergency basis. The patient had a remarkable reduction of serum Triglycerides (TG) from 3953 to 291 mg/dl, which was life saving.

Acute hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HTGP) is an uncommon occurrence during pregnancy. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment are indicated to prevent adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. We present the case of a pregnant female who was diagnosed with HTGP at 34 weeks gestation and subsequently developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and preeclampsia with severe features.

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.

Clinical study of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis and acute biliary pancreatitis with persistent organ failure.

Background: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are novel inflammatory indicators that can be used to predict the severity and prognosis of various diseases. We categorize acute pancreatitis by etiology into acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) and hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTGP).

Aim: To investigate the clinical significance of NLR and PLR in assessing persistent organ failure (POF) in HTGP and ABP.
