Multifactorial Chylomicronemia Syndrome
A disorder in which a combination of genetic predisposition and secondary factors, such as diiet, diabetes, medications, or alcohol, leads to markedly elevated triglyceride levels and an increased risk of pancreatitis.
Severe
Hypertriglyceridemia
Characterized by very high levels of triglycerides in the blood (typically ≥500 mg/dL), increasing the risk of acute pancreatitis and contributing to cardiovascular disease.
Triglyceride-induced
Pancreatitis
An acute inflammation of the pancreas caused by extremely elevated triglyceride levels, often requiring urgent medical care and carrying a risk of serious complications.
