This article presents a case of patient with acute and complicated dyslipidaemic pancreatitis, managed by team, consisted of the endocrinologists, gastroenterologists and transfusiologists. Dyslipidaemia, predominantly type IV, is a common cause of acute pancreatitis in young patients, especially in the cases of poor compliance (irregular taking of recommended fibrates and failure to comply with the dietary regime). The treatment of acute pancreatitis, regardless of the aetiology, is due to the severity of the condition, the complexity of the treatment, and the monitoring of patients, in the Intensive Care Units. In cases where dyslipidaemia is the cause of acute pancreatitis, in the context of acute care, a therapeutic plasma exchange is often performed. It rapidly and significantly corrects lipid levels, primarily triglycerides. Therapeutic plasma exchange requires the activity of transfusiology team, which are often unavailable in smaller hospitals.
