Current status of post-traumatic injury with acute gastrointestinal injury and progress in diagnosis and treatment

Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is the third most common cause of acute pancreatitis worldwide, and in China, it is the second leading cause. It mainly affects patients with underlying lipoprotein metabolism disorders and comorbidities like diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse, or drug use. Pancreatitis caused by hypertriglyceridemia has similar clinical manifestations to acute pancreatitis caused by other factors but has a longer course and more complications, increasing the likelihood of organ failure. Treatment involves aggressive fluid resuscitation, pain control, and nutritional support, similar to acute pancreatitis from other causes. Timely recognition of hypertriglyceridemia is crucial for proper management, preventing recurrence, and long-term disease management.
