Isotretinoin, a retinoid derivative, is used widely as a treatment for severe acne and other dermatological conditions. Its effect on lipid metabolism, especially the induction of hypertriglyceridemia, is well documented. There are some case reports in the literature about drug-induced pancreatitis secondary to isotretinoin. We describe another interesting case of acute pancreatitis related to severe hypertriglyceridemia due to isotretinoin.
异维A酸是一种维甲酸衍生物,被广泛用于治疗重度痤疮和其他皮肤病。其对脂质代谢的影响,尤其是诱发高甘油三酯血症,已有充分记载。文献中有一些关于异维A酸继发药物性胰腺炎的病例报告。我们描述了另一例因异维A酸导致严重高甘油三酯血症相关的急性胰腺炎的有趣病例。
