Familial hypertriglyceridemia is rare in infancy. Diagnosis in infancy is very difficult and is usually diagnosed when acute pancreatitis sets in. Early diagnosis is important as it can prevent the complications associated with acute pancreatitis and pancreatic necrosis. Here is a case familial hypertriglyceridemia in an infant who presented to us with failure to thrive but was diagnosed early due to presence of highly viscous and milky blood. This holds importance as early treatment can reduce the complications and morbidity associated with familial hypertriglyceridemia.

AbstractDiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a frequently encountered complication of diabetes mellitus. DKA is an insulin deficit state and results in moderate to severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). HTG is the third leading cause of acute pancreatitis (AP) and often goes unnoticed. The triad of DKA, HTG, and AP is rarely seen, and literature on the same is sparse. We report a case of AP which was due to DKA-induced secondary HTG in an adult with previously undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. His HbA1c was significantly raised, and C-peptide level was low, confirming chronic hyperglycemia. He was treated successfully with insulin infusion, intravenous crystalloid, and analgesics.
