hyperlipidemia & pregancy



Subject: hyperlipidemia & pregancy

Forum: The Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Forum

I am 29 yrs. old and was recently diagnosed with familial combined hyperlipidemia.  Over the past couple of months, I have been able to drastically reduce my triglycerides from 2500 to 300.  I am looking for information regarding high triglycerides and pregancy, recognizing that triglycerides generally increase during pregancy (usualy the third trimester).  I would also like information regarding the likelihood of pancreatitis during pregancy, as well as the treatment and risks associated with it. Are there any medications that are safe during pregnancy?  My doctor has recommended plasmaphoresis in the event that my triglycerides increase to dangerous levels.  What are your comments?
