Serum triglyceride levels are associated with the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis
To investigate the association between serum triglyceride (TG) levels and the severity and clinical outcomes of acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods
2
Patients with AP admitted consecutively in our department from January 2012 to September 2015 were analyzed. According to serum TG levels
the patients were divided into normal TG group and elevated TG (>1.70 mmol/L) group
and the latter was further divided into mild
moderate
and severe groups. The disease severity and clinical outcomes were compared among patients with different TG levels
and logistic regression analysis was used for analyzing systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The changes were analyzed in serum TG levels
white blood cell counts and APACHE Ⅱ scores after treatment.
Results
2
A total of 466 AP patients were enrolled
including 195 with normal TG levels and 271 with elevated TG levels (176 mild
54 moderate and 41 severe cases). Compared with those with normal serum TG levels
the patients with elevated TG levels were more likely to have SIRS (42.8%
vs
23.6%
P
<
0.001)
pleural effusion (55.0%
vs
43.1%
P
=0.011)
and severe conditions (30.6%
vs
19.5%
P
<
0.007)
but the incidence of organ dysfunction was comparable between the 2 groups (13.7%
vs
13.8%). Elevated serum TG levels was correlated with an increased risk of SIRS (
P
<
0.001)
and logistic regression analysis showed that TG was independently related to SIRS (
OR
=1.157
95%
CI
: 1.102~1.215;
P
<
0.001). TG levels
white blood cell counts and APACHE Ⅱ scores were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.001) after blood purification in 29 patients with severely elevated TG levels.
Conclusion
2
In AP patients
an elevated TG level is associated with a poorer outcome and an increased risk of SIRS but does not affect the risk of organ dysfunction. Blood purification can effectively alleviate the condition of patients with severely elevated TG levels.
