Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is a metabolic condition with multifactorial etiology that may cause life-threatening complications, such as pancreatitis. In pregnant women, hypertriglyceridemia may be secondary to physiological changes during pregnancy or may be exacerbated by medications.

This case report discusses a case of acute pancreatitis caused by hypertriglyceridemia secondary to the use of tacrolimus and estradiol.
