Hyperlipidemia is the second leading cause of acute pancreatitis（AP）in China，and hypertri⁃ glyceridemic acute pancreatitis（HTG⁃AP）is the main type. Due to the special etiology and pathogenesis of HTG⁃ AP，its clinical characteristics are different from those of AP caused by other etiologies，which makes the disease easy to be missed and become severe，resulting in rapid progress of the disease and high mortality，and easy to relapse even after cure. At present，there is a lack of highly operable expert consensus/guidelines for HTG⁃AP. This paper focuses on the diagnosis，etiological treatment，routine treatment and prevention of HTG ⁃AP based on the “Emergency expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis ”written by us recently and in combination with the latest research progress and relevant expert consensus/guidelines for the diag⁃ nosis and treatment of AP.
