Acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia

[摘要] A 42-year-old man with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, depression, asthma, and obstructive sleep apnea presents with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. He says the pain started 18 hours ago and has steadily worsened. He describes the pain as 8 on a scale of 10, intermittent, aching, and mainly localized to his epigastric area. It does not radiate and is relieved with simethicone. He also has had some nonbloody diarrhea since the pain started. He recalls a similar episode 2 years ago and was told it was pancreatitis, and it resolved.
