Abstract EN
We present a rare case of a 49-year-old female with very severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) having a total triglyceride (TG) count of > 10,000 mg/dL in the absence of pancreatitis.
Based on literature review, this is one of the highest recorded TG counts in an adult without evidence of pancreatitis.
HTG is a common occurrence in clinical practice, but rarely do numbers exceed 2000 mg/dl.
It is crucial to evaluate and rapidly lower TG levels to prevent potentially life-threatening complications such as severe pancreatitis.
Removal of potential predisposing medications, control of underlying diseases known to cause HTG, and maintenance therapies are essential to prevent reoccurrence.
