Abstract

Background and Aims: Hypertriglyceridemia is the third most common&nbsp; cause of acute pancreatitis. This study investigated the characteristics&nbsp; and outcomes (recurrence and mortality) of patients presenting&nbsp; with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis. Materials and&nbsp; Methods: A total of 24 patients (average age: 38.8±6.5 years, 79%&nbsp; males) treated at our institution for severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced&nbsp; acute pancreatitis between January 2010 and August 2017 were included&nbsp; in this study. Complete fasting lipid profiles, amylase and lipase&nbsp; levels, and patient demographics were recorded for the evaluation of&nbsp; severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis. Results: A total&nbsp; of 615 patients were admitted with acute pancreatitis in our institution&nbsp; within the study period. Severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute&nbsp; pancreatitis was present in 24 patients (3.9%). All patients showed significant&nbsp; improvement in their triglyceride levels with medical treatment&nbsp; [therapeutic plasmapheresis with standard treatment (20 patients) or&nbsp; only standard treatment (4 patients)]. Of these patients 41.6% had&nbsp; type 2 diabetes mellitus, 16.6% had impaired glucose tolerance, 25%&nbsp; displayed excessive alcohol use, and 8.3% were pregnant. All these&nbsp; conditions are known to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Hospital&nbsp; mortality was 4.1%, and recurrent pancreatitis was detected in&nbsp; 29% of the patients. Conclusions: A high rate of recurrent pancreatitis&nbsp; was observed, which may be related to irregular drug use, lack of diet&nbsp; compliance, poor blood glucose regulation, and pregnancy. The low&nbsp; mortality rate of 4.1% in this cohort may partly be due to aggressive&nbsp; serum triglyceride lowering through a multidisciplinary team. Patients&nbsp; with severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis should be&nbsp; treated quickly. If therapeutic plasma exchange is available, triglyceride&nbsp; levels should be lowered to <500 mg/dl.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Hipertrigliseridemi, akut pankreatitin en yaygın üçüncü&nbsp; sebebidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hipertrigliseridemi ilişkili akut pankreatit&nbsp; tanısı konulan hastaların karakteristiklerini, tekrar ortaya çıkma sıklığı&nbsp; ve mortalitesini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2010 - Ağustos&nbsp; 2017 tarihleri arasında şiddetli hipertrigliseridemi ilişkili akut pankreatit&nbsp; tanısı ile kurumumuzda 24 hasta (yaş ortalaması:38,8±6,5 yıl, %79&nbsp; erkek) tedavi edildi. Şiddetli hipertrigliseridemi ilişkili akut pankreatiti&nbsp; değerlendirmek için açlık lipid profili, amilaz, lipaz değerleri ve hasta&nbsp; demografik verileri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışma periyodu sırasında&nbsp; kurumumuza akut pankreatit tanısı ile 615 hasta kabul edildi. Şiddetli&nbsp; hipertrigliseridemi ilişkili akut pankreatiti olan hasta sayısı 24 (%3,9) idi.&nbsp; Tüm hastalarda, medikal tedavi sonrası [standart tedavi ile terapötik&nbsp; plazma aferezi (20 hasta) veya sadece standart tedavi (4 hasta)] trigliserid&nbsp; düzeylerinde anlamlı iyileşme oldu. Bizim hastaların hipertrigliseridemi&nbsp; ile ilişkili olarak bilinen durumlardan, %41,6’sında diyabetes&nbsp; mellitus, %16,6’sında bozulmuş glukoz toleransı, %25’inde aşırı alkol&nbsp; alımı, %8,3’ünde hamilelik vardı. Hastane mortalitesi %4,1, rekürren&nbsp; pankreatit ise %29 idi. Sonuç: Rekürren pankreatit oranı yüksek saptandı.&nbsp; Bu, düzensiz fibrat kullanımı, diyet uyumumun zayıf olması, kötü&nbsp; kan şekeri regülasyonu, hamilelik ile ilişkili olabilir. Mortalite oranı %4,1&nbsp; idi. Bu kısmen bizim multidisipliner takım çalışması sayesinde, serum&nbsp; trigliserid düzeyinin agresif düzeltilmesinden dolayı olabilir. Şiddetli hipertrigliseridemi&nbsp; ilişkili akut pankreatit hızlıca tedavi edilmelidir. Eğer&nbsp; terapötik plazma afarezine ulaşılabiliyor ise trigilserid düzeyi < 500 mg/ dl olana kadar yapılmalıdır.
