Abstract
Extreme HTG is rare in children and majority of the children had secondary causes. Patients with diabetes mellitus or receiving drugs, such as, L-asparaginase, corticosteroids, and sirolimus, should be closely monitored for eHTG. Prevalence of T1HLP is approximately 1 in 6000 at a tertiary care center with an estimated population prevalence of 1 in 3,00,000. Early neonatal screening and intervention for T1HLP can prevent life-threatening morbidities such as acute pancreatitis.
