    The study analyzed 242 patients with acute pancreatitis, dividing them into hypertriglyceridemia (HTG-AP) and non-hypertriglyceridemia (non-HTG-AP) groups.

  • 2

    HTG-AP patients were significantly younger, had higher BMI and diabetes prevalence, but lower cardiovascular disease rates compared to non-HTG-AP patients.

  • 3

    Metabolic and inflammatory markers, including fasting blood glucose and CRP, were significantly elevated in the HTG-AP group.

  • 4

    HTG-AP patients exhibited higher rates of moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis, along with increased ICU admission rates.

  • 5

    HTG-AP was associated with a higher incidence of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus, indicating a long-term risk of islet dysfunction.
