A Case of very Severe Hypertriglyceridemia during Pregnancy

Abstract

Severe hypertriglyceridemia is defined as serum triglyceride levels of 1000 mg/dL and more. Acute pancreatitis and fetal losses can be observed in association with severely high triglyceride levels during pregnancy. Here we report the management of a 28-year-old pregnant woman with very severe HTG with the data in the literature.
