Abstract
Objective: To study the change in SOFA and Ranson's score in assessing the severity in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) treated with plasma exchange therapy (PEX). Subject and method: 165 patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis treated at Bach Mai Hospital from 2016 to 2019 were included in the study. Patients were assessed on SOFA and Ranson score before and after PEX. Result: The time from hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis until PEX was from 1 to 7 days. Before PEX, SOFA scores were similar in both groups, Ranson score was higher than that in non-PEX group. At day 2, the PEX group had a lower SOFA and Ranson score than the non-PEX group, the difference was statistically significant starting from the 3rd day with SOFA and the second day with Ranson score. Conclusion: In patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis, the PEX group had lower SOFA (day 3) and Ranson (day 2) scores than the non-PEX group.
