Introduction:
Globally, acute pancreatitis has a high incidence and a large. Among its numerous causes, the most frequent are obstructions of the bile duct, alcohol consumption and hypertriglyceridemia (triglyceride serum levels higher than 1000 mg/dL). Hypertriglyceridemia accounts for 1% to 7% of the total cases.
Methodology:
We present a case of acute pancreatitis secondary to severe hypertriglyceridemia which was managed with plasmapheresis. We include a review of the literature on the conditions, indications and advantages of this therapeutic strategy.
Conclusions:
In selected cases, plasmapheresis is a safe and effective management strategy for patients with acute pancreatitis secondary to severe hypertriglyceridemia.
