Hypertriglyceridemia is a Risk Factor for Acute Kidney Injury in the Early Phase of Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for AKI in the early phase of AP. Obesity does not increase mortality of patients without AKI. We hypothesize that the role of pancreatic enzymes on triglyceride accumulated in renal may be an explanation for AKI in the early phase of AP.
