ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of diagnosis and treatment in hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis in recent years.MethodsThrough the retrieval of relevant literatures, the progress of diagnosis and treatment in hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis were reviewed.ResultsHypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis is a rare acute pancreatitis, but with the improvement of living standard and the change of diet structure, the incidence of this disease in recent years was increasing, and more likely to lead to complications, causing serious consequences. The treatment of hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis in addition to the routine treatment of pancreatitis, attention should also be paid to the rapid reduction of blood triglyceride levels, including plasma exchange, the use of low molecular weight heparin and insulin, and the use of lipid-lowering drugs.ConclusionsHypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis is more severe than acute pancreatitis caused by other causes, and the incidence of complications is higher. Maintaining a lower level of blood triglycerides is of great significance for the improvement of this pancreatitis and the prevention of the recurrence of pancreatitis.
