Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of diabetes on hyperlipidemic acute panereatitis. Methods The clinical data of 96 patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis from Jun 1996 to Jun 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Of all 96 patients, 21.9% (21/96) suffered from severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP ), 78. 1% ( 75/96 ) suffered from mild acute pancreatitis ( MAP ), respectively. Twenty-four patients (25%) were diabetics. Triglyceride level, obesity rate, SAP cases and APACHE Ⅱ scores in patients with diabetes were significantly higher than those of no-diabetes patients( P < 0. 05 ). The glucose level, diabetes of history length, triglyceride level and fat were the independent factors for prognosis of acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia by the Cox model analysis. With the increasing of APACHE Ⅱ score, the blood glucose level of patients increased. Blood glucose level in a short period of time does not correlate with lipid levels. Conclusions The level of blood glucose is related with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis, the history of the diabetes to a certain extent influences the development of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis. Key words: Diabetes mellitus ; Triglycerides; Pancreatitis; Hyperlipidemias; Blood glucose
