Abstract
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is the third common cause of acute pancreatitis following after alcohol abuse and cholelithiasis. Moreover, it is also an important risk factor of cardiovascular events. However, the cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia caused by autoimmune disease were rare in clinical, which would bring the difficulty for diagnosis and treatment. A better understanding of the clinical characteristics, possible pathogenesis, and corresponding therapy of the disease would be helpful, which would reduce the risk of complications, and finally improve both the survival rate as well as quality of life of these patients. (Chin J Endocrinol Metab, 2016, 32: 523-526) Key words: Severe hypertriglyceridemia; Autoimmune disease; Triglycerides; Hyperlipidemia.
