Hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis with rapid response to insulin therapy

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common gastrointestinalrelated causes of hospitalization in the USA, accounting for more than 200,000 admissions annually. Although mild and moderate cases usually improve within a week, severe AP conditions could lead to lifethreatening pancreatic necrosis, multiple-organ dysfunction, and be fatal in some cases.
