Abstract

Conclusions: Managing severe hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy is challenging due to uncertainties about treatment efficacy and safety. Timely reduction of maternal TGs is essential to prevent complications and requires adjustments throughout pregnancy. This case demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of niacin, often underutilized due to perceived side effects, in managing severe hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy when other treatments were inadequate.
