Hypertriglyceridemia is an important and under-diagnosed etiology of acute non-biliary pancreatitis. There has been no standardized protocol to treat these patients. Our patient was a case with severe acute pancreatitis caused by hypertriglyceridemia. We gave a treatment protocol consisting of heparin and insulin combination to stimulate lipoprotein-lipase activity. The patient’s parameters were all improved at the end of the treatment. Our aim was to present this case of acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia, including differential diagnosis and treatment approach.
