Plasmapheresis as an Alternative Treatment of Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Pancreatitis : A Case Report
Copyright © 2022, Santos et al..
Hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis is a relatively common form of acute pancreatitis that may represent up to 10% of all etiologies of this condition. Due to its specific pathogenic mechanisms related to high serum triglyceride levels, different treatment options have been proposed, including insulin perfusion, heparin perfusion, and plasmapheresis. Although the superiority of plasmapheresis in this clinical setting has not been demonstrated in randomized clinical trials, many centers have reported its effectiveness and considered this as a possible alternative according to the current guidelines. We report a case of a young patient diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis that was successfully treated with plasmapheresis. Since complications associated with plasmapheresis are rare and other therapeutic options may not be so effective or safe, we believe that this should be a valid alternative treatment that may be offered to these patients. More studies are still needed to further evaluate its effectiveness and to elucidate if there is a subset of patients in whom treatment with plasmapheresis may be more beneficial.
