Abstract

Therapeutic Plasmapheresis in the Management of Extremely Severe Hypertriglyceridemia During Pregnancy

We report a case of a 38-year-old primigravida with extremely severe hypertriglyceridemia diagnosed at term, complicated by postpartum acute pancreatitis. Therapeutic plasma exchange resulted in rapid triglyceride reduction and clinical stabilization, preventing severe maternal complications.
