Abstract
In the United States, acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions that results in hospital admission. Necrotizing pancreatitis is a form of acute pancreatitis that can lead to various local and systemic complications. It is also associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity without prompt intervention. In this case report, we discuss the case of a 33-year-old female with a history of alcoholism hospitalized with necrotizing pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia. Our goal was to promptly identify the case by evaluating the signs and symptoms and intervening to prevent the associated complications. Our other objective was to change the diet and lifestyle of the patient to prevent the recurrence of necrotizing pancreatitis and readmission for the same reason.
