Pregnancy With Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis: The Enigmatic Triad.

ABSTRACT: Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy is a rare condition. Acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia in a case of diabetic ketoacidosis is also a very rare condition with a very high mortality rate. Here, we report a case of a 34-week pregnancy with pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis with underlying gallstone disease, which might have contributed to the etiology of pancreatitis. There is no report of such a case in the available literature. The patient underwent a lower segment cesarean section and was conservatively treated for all other comorbidities and had a successful outcome.
