Early Treatment With Curative Dose Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin (LMWH) Versus Plasmapheresis in Severe Acute Pancreatitis in Intensive Care: A Comparative Study
In this single-center observational study, therapeutic-dose LMWH was associated with improved clinical outcomes and fewer adverse events compared to plasmapheresis. These findings suggest LMWH may be a safe and effective option for managing hypertriglyceridemia-induced SAP, though randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these results.
