Article Abstract

A 36-year-old woman with prior hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis presented with a recurrence of pancreatitis after beginning in vitro fertilization (IVF). Her primary care physician had discontinued fenofibrate due to concerns for teratogenicity. This case illustrates the importance of fibrate therapy for high-risk women undergoing IVF, despite limited evidence regarding its teratogenicity.

Introduction And Importance: Various metabolic and physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy can sometimes lead to severe hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy. The resultant hypertriglyceridemia may lead to acute pancreatitis in pregnancy, which even being rare poses significant health risks to both the child and the mother.

Presentation Of Case: A 26-year-old female, G4P1L1A2 at 36 weeks and 3 days of gestation, presented with an acute onset of abdominal pain in the epigastric region and multiple episodes of vomiting.

Hypertriglyceridemia-associated pancreatitis (HTGP) accounts for 9% to 10% of acute pancreatitis; however, the exact cause and associated factors advancing HTGP are unclear. Clinical studies have revealed that hypophosphatemia is a common factor in many patients with pancreatitis. Phosphate depletion occurs in metabolic disorders and can lead to dyslipidemia.

Despite a correlative relationship between Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HIAP) incidence and triglyceride (TG) levels, not all patients with very high TG levels in plasma develop HIAP, suggesting additional contributing factors. We used gas chromatography and thin layer chromatography for analysis of fatty acid (FA) composition in plasma, TGs, and red blood cells (RBC) in healthy volunteers and patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia with and without HIAP, providing a thorough understanding of recent and long-standing physiological states. We found that TGs of hypertriglyceridemic patients with current HIAP contain increased levels of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and the trans FA elaidic acid, all potentially toxic to pancreatic cells; and decreased levels of the pancreatic-protective FAs gondoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.

Backgrounds: With the change in dietary patterns, the number of patients suffering from hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) has been increasing year by year. HTG-AP patients have a higher likelihood of progressing to severe conditions and exhibit a markedly increased risk of recurrence compared to other etiologies. At present, effective prediction models for the recurrence of HTG-AP need to be established and improved urgently, which is of great significance in improving the prognosis of patients.

Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) may be inherited and caused by variants in genes encoding enzymes of lipid metabolism. This study was prompted by the observation of eight Franches-Montagnes (FM) foals showing elevated plasma triglyceride levels and episodes of fatal acute pancreatitis. We termed this phenotype hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HIP).
