🚨 TrigTriviaTuesday 🚨 36F, 3 mo pp, BMI 31, ↑carb diet, mild abd discomfort + headaches. Labs: TG 780 🆘 | TC 280 | HDL 32 | FPG 110 | Mild ↑LFTs | TSH normal. No alcohol, no pancreatitis hx, mom w/ HC Clinicians—1st step? Extra tests? Short + long-term goals? Drop your plan ⬇️ Expert advice soon!

It’s #TrigTriviaTuesday! 💥 Pancreatitis risk doesn’t wait—so here’s your quick quiz: At what TG level does risk really spike? A) >250 mg/dL B) >500 mg/dL C) >1,000 mg/dL D) >2,000 mg/dL Drop your guess & let’s talk TGs + pancreatitis ⬇️ #TrigTriviaTuesday #Hypertriglyceridemia #MedEd

🚨 Trig Trivia Tuesday - Boost your TrigIQ: In SHASTA-2, plozasiran helped 90.6% of patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia drop TGs <500 mg/dL by week 24—and 76.5% stayed there through week 48. Nearly 50% reached normal TGs (<150 mg/dL).

25yo woman w/ lifelong triglycerides >1200 (now 1620). Always thin, normal glucose, clean diet. Fam hx of high TGs—but mostly in relatives who are overweight or diabetic. Meds tried, didn’t help. Normal lipase/amylase. No other health issues. What’s your diagnosis? #MedSky

Welcome Back to #TrigTriviaTuesday! HTG-related pancreatitis = more ICU admissions, systemic complications & longer stays (Maat et al., 2021). Early, aggressive TG reduction improves outcomes & lowers organ failure risk (Nawaz et al., 2015). #TrigTriviaTuesday #TrigIQ #whatsUrTrigIQ

🔹 Welcome to #TrigTriviaTuesday - where we help boost your #TrigIQ. Did you know high triglycerides can trigger #AcutePancreatitis— and it’s often more severe and deadly than other causes? Even one episode increases future risk. Repeated flares? They can lead to #chronicpancreatitis or worse.
