A member asked:
How high would your tricerlydes blood level have to be to develop chronic pancreatitis?

Triglyceride levels higher than 1000 mg/dL are associated with acute pancreatitis. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/endocrinology/news/hypertriglyceridemic-pancreatitis/mac-20450059

This will depend on how fast and how high they go. The highest I have seen without pancreatitis was 10,000. The patient had a metabolic problem and was having a skin breakout from the high triglycerides.
