AB123. P099. Type 2 diabetes mellitus, a vital and independent risk factor for acute pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia

Background: The incidence of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HIAP) is increasing worldwide, and now is the third leading cause of acute pancreatitis in the United States. There are 5% of patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (>1,000 mg/dL) which might generate acute pancreatitis. A case-control study was performed by us to evaluate the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus on acute pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.
