Gestational hyperlipidemic pancreatitis caused by type III hyperlipoproteinemia with apolipoprotein E2/E2 homozygote.

摘要

Gestational hyperlipidemic pancreatitis is an uncommon but serious disorder.1 In women having type I, IV, or V hyper-lipoproteinemia (HLP), the superimposi-tion of the physiologic hyperlipidemia of pregnancy may lead to acute pancreatitis.2 Here, we present a case of gestational hyperlipidemic pancreatitis associated with apo E2/E2 homozygous type III HLP.
