[A case of severe acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia in a pregnant woman].
A 29-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our hospital with suspected acute pancreatitis. On admission, the serum levels of pancreatic enzyme, total cholesterol and triglyceride were markedly elevated, which suggesting acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia. Treatment consisted of continuous hemodiafiltration, LDL apheresis, heparin and insulin combination therapy. On the 24th day of hospitalization, a cesarean section delivery resulted in the birth of a healthy infant. We reported a case of hyperlipidemia-induced acute pancreatitis in a woman with second trimester pregnancy, where multidisciplinary treatment was quite effective.
