Abstract

The lack of sensitivity and low level of initial serum pancreatic enzymes in patient with hyperlipidaemic pancreatitis has been reported. They presented evidence that the hypertriglyceridaemia interfered with amylase measurement. We reported a case of acute pancreatitis with normal serum amylase concentration with underlying hypertriglyceridaemia.
