Abstract

Severe hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy is a rare condition, often occurring in pregnant women with potential lipid metabolism disorders, threatens maternal and fetal prognosis. Basic, effective and safe treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy with low-fat diet and Omega-3. Plasmapheresis is a method that can be used during pregnancy in cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia complicated by or unresponsive to other treatments. Oral lipid lowering therapies have good effects but are contraindicated for pregnant women. We recorded a case of severe hypertriglyceridemia detected during cesarean section with triglyceridemia of 64.2 mmol/L. The newborn is normal, postoperative patients have been treated effectively with diet, Omega-3 and fibrates.
