Гипертриглицеридемия - мультидисциплинарная проблема современной медицины

Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal causes for hospitalization after acute appendicitis. Despite recent advances in the treatment methods, mortality from acute pancreatitis and its complications remains high. Hypertriglyceridemia is an underestimated cause of acute pancreatitis, accounting for 10% among other etiological factors. Timely diagnosis of hypertriglyceridemia, a personalized approach, and the selection of adequate lipid-lowering therapy allow reducing the risk of developing and/or preventing recurrent acute pancreatitis. The article presents the clinical case of a patient with recurrent pancreatitis and hypertriglyceridemia. Despite high levels of triglycerides and annual hospitalizations for recurrent pancreatitis, the patient has not received optimal treatment for a long time. Therefore, lipid-modifying therapy has not been prescribed and none dietary recommendations have been suggested, including the exclusion of alcoholic beverages. Structural changes in the pancreas (the formation of pseudocysts) and the progression of pancreatogenic diabetes have developed.
