Acute pancreatitis secondary to moderate hypertriglyceridemia: A case report

We report a case of a 26-year-old para-2, living-2 (P2L2) female who presented with epigastric pain and fever, with a serum tri glyceride level of 579 mg/dL. A diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was made based on the clinical features and radiological findings, despite no identifiable risk factors. Hypertriglyceridemia was managed with no complications of acute pancreatitis during treatment.
