Severe Hypertriglyceridemia in Multifactorial Chylomicronemia Syndrome: Therapeutic Challenges in a Young Patient with Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract

Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a major risk factor for acute pancreatitis and cardiovascular diseases. It is typically seen in Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS), caused by specific genetic mutations, but can also present in Multifactorial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (MCS), where these mutations are absent.
