This interest has been increasing in the last few years with the appearance of many articles with detailed serum lipid partitions which shed further light on this subject. The problem is to determine what etiologic relationship exists between these conditions.Brunner,1Gardner,2Edmondson3and others4, 5, 6have shown that hyperlipemia occurs in acute and in chronic relapsing pancreatitis. It was suggested by Kennedy and Collett7and by Klatskin and Gordon8that...Bibliography1. Brunner W: Beitrag zur pankreatogenen Lipämie, Klin. Wchnschr. 14: 1853, 1935. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
