Acute hyperlipidaemic pancreatitis (HP) may develop in pregnancy in patients with genetic predisposition. There are no accepted guidelines for the management of this rare but life-threatening condition in pregnancy. Plasma exchange (PEX) was suggested as a suitable option to treat HP in pregnancy; however, further evidence from case reports/case series are needed.
