title: [Double filtration plasmapheresis in treatment of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis].
abstract: To investigate the therapeutic effects of double filtration plasmapheresis(DFPP) in treatment of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis.
  
  
  
  Nine patients with acute hyperlipidemic pancreatitis were treated with DFPP in addition to the conventional therapeutic measures. The clinical symptoms,serum levels of triglyceride (TG) and APACHE II scores were observed before and after DFPP.
  
  
  
  After DFPP the clinical symptoms of patients were improved greatly; serum levels of TG decreased from (83.48 +/-2.54)mmol/L to (4.09 +/-0.65)mmol/L(P<0.01) and APACHE II scores decreased from 12.2 +/- 2.3 to 6.2 +/- 1.3(P <0.05). There were no significant side effects during and after DFPP.
  
  
  
  DFPP can be effectively and safely applied in patients with acute hyperlipidemic pancreatitis.
