ABSTRACT
Hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HTIP) is the third most common cause of pancreatitis. Hypertriglyceridemia shows familial transition and pregnancy increases the risk of HTIP. The treatment of HTIP is initiated with supportive treatment and continues with specific treatments including plasmapheresis, insulin, heparin infusion, and hemofiltration. The current study reports monozygotic twins who are pregnant at the same time having concurrent HTIP attack.
