Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult aged 18 to 80 years old;
  • abdominal pain consistent with AP;
  • serum amylase and / or lipase activity is at least 3 times higher than the normal upper limit;
  • abdominal imaging consistent with AP imaging changes.
  • severe hyperlipidemia "fasting serum TG> 1,000 mg/dL (11.2mmol/L)";
  • except for other AP causes, such as cholelithiasis, alcohol, drugs and so on.

Exclusion Criteria

  • other etiologies other than hyperlipidemia leading to AP;
  • fasting serum TG less than 1,000 mg / dL (11.2mmol / L);
  • acute lipid-induced pancreatitis at the same time combined with other etiologies of acute pancreatitis.
  • the existence of plasma replacement contraindications: serious allergies to plasma, human serum albumin, heparin and others; the existence of mental disorders; unstable heart or cerebral infarction; intracranial hemorrhage or severe cerebral edema associated with hernia.
  • without informed consent, the patient refused to plasma replacement, and other circumstances may bring significant bias.
