Clinical research progress in hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis[J]. Journal of Southwest Medical University, 2022,45(1):17-20. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.2096-3351.2022.01.004.
Hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is acute pancreatitis caused by severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), which is characterized by high severity, high relapse rate and increasing incidence in young individuals. With the improvement of living standards, the incidence of HTG-AP has been increasing every year, and clinical research on HTG-AP has attracted much attention. In this paper, we summarize the clinical research progress in HTG-AP and prospect the future research in this field.
