Abstract
A case of severe hypertriglyceridaemia presenting in the third trimester of pregnancy in a woman on long-term heparin prophylaxis is described. The hypertriglyceridaemia was attributed to impaired clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles secondary to heparin-induced reduction in the activity of the lipolytic enzyme, lipoprotein lipase.Entities:
