The clinical importance of recognizing capecitabine-induced hypertriglyceridemia: A case report and review of the literature.
Journal of Clinical Lipidology 2018 July 26
This case report describes a patient who developed a mixed hyperlipidemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia (>20 mmol/L or 1772 mg/dL) while receiving capecitabine chemotherapy. After lipid-lowering treatment (statin and omega-3 acid ethyl esters) and completion of chemotherapy, her lipid levels had been significantly reduced. Other secondary causes of hyperlipidemia were also investigated. In view of the abnormal lipid results worsened by capecitabine, we suggest that careful lipid monitoring and thorough lipid management are important in such patients to avoid acute pancreatitis.
