The effect of serum triglyceride concentration on the outcome of acute pancreatitis: systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Elevated serum triglyceride concentration (seTG, >1.7 mM or >150 mg/dL) or in other words hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is common in the populations of developed countries. This condition is accompanied by an increased risk for various diseases, such as acute pancreatitis (AP). It has been proposed that HTG could also worsen the course of AP. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to compare the effects of various seTGs on the severity, mortality, local and systemic complications of AP, and on intensive care … Show more

“…Obesity is another risk factor in AP; obese patients have a three-fold increased risk of mortality compared to those with a BMI < 30 [ 15 ]. High triglyceride level is also a risk factor, serum triglyceride level higher than 5.6 mmol/L significantly increases the mortality rate (OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.28–5.92, p < 0.01) [ 16 ]. An experimental study in rat AP model demonstrated that the presence of FLD increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, which may worsen the course of the disease [ 17 ].…”

“…The most common cause of APP is gallstones, followed by alcohol abuse, hypertriglyceridemia, and unknown causes [3]. Non-gallstone pancreatitis is thought to be related to more complications and a poorer prognosis, such as hypertriglyceridemia-induced AP (HTG-AP) [4].…”
