Abstract
Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Syndrome is associated with diseases such as Acute Pancreatitis and Coronary Artery Disease, caused due to the exacerbated increase in plasma levels of triglycerides. In acute conditions triggered by hypertriglyceridemia, such as acute pancreatitis, apheresis is the recommended treatment, and it should be instituted as soon as possible. The aim of this article is to describe two cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia and the clinical outcome of both patients after undergoing the apheresis procedure. In this report, we describe two cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia, one without clinical complaints and the other with acute abdominal pain. Both were treated with apheresis and presented good evolution, and are now being followed up on an outpatient basis. Early diagnosis and easy access for patients to this method of treatment contributed to the rapid reduction and clinical stability of cases.
