Recurrent hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis:Etiology and prevention and treatment strategies
The incidence rate of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis(HLAP)is gradually increasing,with the features of young age,severe conditions,frequent recurrence,and poor prognosis,and recurrent HLAP has become a difficult issue that needs to be solved urgently in clinical practice.This article summarizes the risk factors for HLAP recurrence and corresponding prevention and treatment strategies.The risk factors for HLAP recurrence include dyslipidemia,abnormal glucose metabolism,obesity,smoking,and drinking.In addition to the early treatment in the acute stage,HLAP requires long-term management,including effective control of blood glucose and lipids,diet regulation,and cigarette and alcohol withdrawal.As for patients with unexplained recurrent HLAP,genetic testing and gene therapy may provide novel diagnosis and treatment strategies.
