Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is a metabolic condition with multifactorial etiology that may cause life-threatening complications, such as pancreatitis. In pregnant women, hypertriglyceridemia may be secondary to physiological changes during pregnancy or may be exacerbated by medications. The combination of tacrolimus and estradiol is sometimes used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) for women with a history of recurrent implantation failure. This case report discusses a case of acute pancreatitis caused by hypertriglyceridemia secondary to the use of tacrolimus and estradiol.

Özet

Hipertigliseridemi, pankreatit gibi yaşamı tehdit eden komplikasyonlara neden olabilen çoklu etiyolojiye sahip bir metabolik durumdur. Hamile kadınlarda hipertigliseridemi, gebelik sırasındaki fizyolojik değişikliklere sekonder olabilir veya ilaçlar tarafından kötüleştirilebilir. Tacrolimus ve östradiol kombinasyonu, tekrarlayan implantasyon başarısızlığı öyküsü olan kadınların in vitro fertilizasyon (IVF) tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu vaka raporu, tacrolimus ve östradiol kullanımına bağlı gelişen hipertigliseridemiye sekonder akut pankreatit vakasını ele almaktadır.
