Hypertriglyceridemia: A Case Report and Literature Review

Mei-Lian Cai1,2*, Min Gong2

Background: Hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) is the most common form of dyslipidaemia. It is rare for patients with high levels of Triglycerides (TGs) to not suffer from Acute Pancreatitis (AP).

Case presentation: We report a 42-year-old male who came in for a physical examination for job entry. His blood lipids showed the following: TGs were significantly increased at 3101 mg/dl, Total Cholesterol (TC) was slightly increased, and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) was decreased.

Results: There were no changes in amylase, fasting serum glucose, carotid color ultrasound, or Electrocardiogram (ECG). The patient consumed a healthy diet, engaged in physical activity and used fenofibrate tablets, and his blood lipids significantly improved.

Conclusion: Dyslipidaemia is one of the risk factors for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD). HTG can cause Acute Pancreatitis (AP) and death, so it is very important to control blood lipids. Comprehensive treatment of HTG is effective. Antibody treatment of Hyperlipidaemia (HPL) has broad prospects.
