Prevention of recurrent acute pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia: value of regular plasmapheresis.
Pancreas 1996 July
The association between acute pancreatitis and severe hypertriglyceridemia has long been recognized. We report two cases of severe primary hypertriglyceridemia (types 1 and V) with recurrent acute pancreatitis. In both patients, observance of appropriate diet and drug therapy was insufficient. Recurrent episodes of pancreatitis were precipitated by dietary fat or alcohol abuse. A plasmapheresis was performed every 4 weeks to decrease the incidence of pancreatitis. It appears that plasmapheresis is a safe and highly effective method for quickly removing serum triglycerides. Moreover, plasma-pheresis may be useful for preventing acute pancreatitis.
