AbstractA 50-year-old man with a triglyceride (TG) level of 11,397 mg/dL was admitted to our hospital. He consumed a high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet as well as more than 100 g of alcohol per day. He had type 2 diabetes and obesity and had previously suffered from severe acute pancreatitis twice. A genetic analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations in APOA5 (c.56C>G and c.553G>T). In addition to low-fat meals and alcohol cessation, administration of pemafibrate lowered his triglyceride levels to <150 mg/dL.
