Pancreatitis triglycerides
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis triglycerides
pancreatitis
I came down with acute pancreatitis March 28, 2010. I spent 27 days in the hospital. Nobody has been able to tell me why I got so sick. I was a heavy nicorette chewer for years. I quit the day I went to the hospital. I do not know if there is an association with the nicorette and pancreatitis. Wondering.
In women with inherited defects of lipid metabolism, there have been reports of significant elevations of plasma triglycerides during estrogen therapy. This has led to pancreatitis in some cases.
I stopped using the Nuvaring immediately. Never during that whole time I was in the hospital or months afterwards did any doctor link the pancreatitis to the NuvaRing. I remember having bleeding in the hospital a week early even though the ring was still in.
my 30 year old sister, non-drinker, on birth control pills, has been having epigastric pain for a couple of weeks, Blood work shows, elevated amylase levels (not elevated lipase), high triglycerides (rest of the cholesterol tests are normal). Her CT scan shows no problems to the pancreas but some fat infiltration to the liver. The doctors are not sure exactly why she is presenting this way.
all this time we have waited and labs were normal now they are starting to show signs and your mothers history you need to get this addressed because pancreatitis especially chronic pancreatitis is hereditary as well hope it helps you out,,,,,,,
How are your blood sugars and triglycerides/cholesterol? Those made my hubby have acute pancreatitis. I'm stunned a GI doc would say that Pancreatitis doesn't present that way and that it doesn't last that long... that's absurd! There are people with chronic pancreatitis and I knew a woman last year that had her entire pancreas removed because of it.
Since there is a history of cancer has a oncologist checked you out or is this all primary care and/or GI doc?
Dr said I am pre diabetic and that if my triglycerides pass 500 that it means pancreatitis. I am just worried because my mother suffered from Hep C (however I have tested negative). I hardly have any sugar in my diet however I dont eat very well, some times if at all. I will work on eating more veg/fruit. I am just so concerned because i have never had irregular blood work.
Lros from my last blood test I had a lipase level more than three times as high (180 for a norm of 60), which corresponds in theory to acute pancreatitis. If only I have no pain.
The doctors said it was inflamed but there were no stones and no other explanation. Then, I had Pancreatitis about a year ago due to high Triglycerides. At the time, the doctors were checking me for diabetes because I guess those things are related. Generally Pancreatitis is caused by gallstones or excessive drinking. I am not an excessive drinker and by then my gallbladder had been removed. I just went for a follow-up this afternoon and now my doc wants to check my Thyroid.
1. Steroids, mumps, Epstein Barr Virus and Cytomegalovirus, Lupus and other immune diseases, very high calcium, lipids and triglycerides, drugs: sulfa drugs, steroids, NSAID use, diuretics, duodenal ulcer, diabetic drugs especially Byetta.
The drugs could be a problem for both the pancrease and liver too. If you have been taking Byetta for diabetis it is very important to get treatment for that right away.
I would say there is cause for concern but you are getting it checked out.
I have 12 year old long-haired Chihuahua that I took for the annual vet appointment. Some of her numbers came back elevated: ALT - 285, ALKP - 348, BUN/Creatinine Ratio - 31, Triglycerides - 674 & Platelet Count at 708. Did anyone have a similar situation and what was the outcome and the actions taken? She is my baby and I want to make sure she is taken care of. My vet suggested testing for the Cushing's disease. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
He told us that his dysfunctional gallbladder is what is most likely causing his triglycerides to get so high, which then triggers pancreatitis.
he said high elevations can trigger spontaneous pancreatitis; it’s supposedly very painful, among other things. When my triglycerides were elevated, the doctor ordered me to take omega 3 fish oil supplements… I asked for how long, and his response was for life.
Triglycerides: 1,765 mg/dl, HDL: 21, LDL: NP (serum index for lipemia to high to report), and Total Cholesterol: 273. I fasted for 12 hrs prior to this since I am an RN and know the importance. Trending some of my past test they seem to have been creeping up since May and June of 2014 when I started Nexium 40mg daily for GERD and Celebrex 200mg daily for arthritis. I am wondering if one of these medications can be driving this train since the correlation is there.
I just finished 6 months of treatment for HCV 2b. After 3 weeks of treatment it was gone, my last blood test it is still gone. I have had pure torment with my immune system. I had an abcess on my right boob and thought it would rot off. Then I got a fungal infection on my nipples. My triglycerides were 202 and that changed to 634 which meant pancreatitis was stalking me. Now I don't what to do or what to eat and am weak as a kitten.
I was told that extremely high triglycerides can trigger spontaneous pancreatitis; the doc said if I developed that, I wouldn’t be enjoying life. He had me start taking omega 3 fish oils, and said to take 3 capsules a day… forever :o).

Everything else if fine in the panel and in my Urinanalysis. I am wondering if I can get any advice on this. I had acute Pancreatitis and I have elevated Triglycerides.
I too have very high triglycerides, my levels were slightly higher and I ended up have a problem with my pancraus (spelling) Right after my last visit to the doctor, my levels were 650 tri, I am 6 ft 190 and in pretty good shape, what are you doing to help with this?
Hi everyone,
My husband, who is 43 years old, had his gallbladder removed approximately a month ago. He is a type 2 diabetic and has a 10-year history of pancreatitis attributed to elevated triglycerides and his gallbladder was quite inflamed and had significant scar tissue, so he most likely had stones. Three years ago, he had to undergo several ERCPs and bile duct stents as he had stones lodged deep in his bile duct and a pancreatic duct leak, causing him to be quite septic.
i was in the hospital due to constant upchuck for 2 days and continued pain in stomach all over but mostly on the right and upper right also back pain--dx as pancreatitis. now gi doc says he sees that my bile duct is clogged and my liver doesn't look right. all they keep asking is am i a drinker, i don't drink at all except an occational (one) on a holiday. just had a ton of blood work done and am going on mon. for an mri of the pancreas etc.
Is there any possible relationship with gall bladder and pacreas that can cause seriously high sugars. I have presented with dizziness, light headed, mild nausea last Friday, Doctor ran multiple blood test and only reported thyroid low and sugar elevated higher than ever since diagnosis in 2000. A1C came back 11.7 (ridiculous) my glucose was 297 mid morning but not fasting.
I have had one mild elevation of Amylase around 135 at the beggining of 2006. I had high triglycerides which are now normal.I have had continual elevations of Lipase around 320 throughout the last 2 years. Every thing else has been pretty much normal other than a mildly increased ANA that has since been normal. Kidney Function & Liver function normal.I have had normal MRCPs & ERCPS .
First time I have done a test and found that my triglycerides(Method-Enzymatic cholesterol esterase peroxide and found that the result is 527. How to reduce the same quickly.
my brother has 210 triglycerides in blood . Is it serious?. how he can reduce the level. His age is 32. Weight is 67kg.
