Clinical analysis of hyperlipidemic sever acute pancreatitis

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of sever acute pancreatitis (SAP) with high triglyceride(TG). Methods 82 patients with onset of SAP within 72 hours were involved in this study. These patients were divided into high TG group (n=26) and normal TG group (n=56) according to serum TG lev-els tested (high TG group≥1.7 mmoL/L;normal TG group<1.7 mmol/L on admission). Results 31.71% (26/82) SAP patients were discovered with high TG APACHE-Ⅱ grade of high TG group was higher than that of normal TG group on admission[(14.62±7.58) vs (10.68±5.21),P<0.01]. Within the onset of 72 hours,the incidence of cardiac,pulmonary and kidney dysfunction in high TG group was higher than those of normal TG group (34.62%,34.62% and 19.23% vs 5.36%,3.57% and 1.79%,P<0.01),and the incidence of pancreatic pseudocysts was higher in high TG group than that of normal group(42.31% vs 7.14%,P<0.01). No emergency and early-stage surgical cases in high TG group but 13 cases(23.21%) in normal group. There were 2 cases of high TG group and 4 of normal group averting to operation. Conclusion SAP patients with high TG have high incidence of early-stage organ dysfunction and local complication,in this case nonsurgical intervention is the first choice.
