Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) Overview

Severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) is a metabolic disorder clinically defined by fasting triglyceride levels reaching or exceeding 5.6 mmol/L (500 mg/dL) by US standards, with levels exceeding 10 mmol/L (880 mg/dL) presenting the highest risk. It arises from rare monogenic causes—such as familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) dictated by loss-of-function mutations in LPL, APOC2, APOA5, LMF1, or GPIHBP1—or more commonly, from a polygenic multifactorial background exacerbated by secondary drivers like uncontrolled diabetes, obesity, alcohol excess, and certain medications. Pathological chylomicron and VLDL accumulation saturates clearance mechanisms, and when triglycerides exceed the 10 mmol/L threshold, the risk of acute pancreatitis—a life-threatening acute complication—escalates dramatically. Patients can present with eruptive xanthomas, lipaemia retinalis, hepatosplenomegaly, and severe abdominal pain, though many are caught incidentally via routine lipid screening. Diagnosis integrates fasting lipid panels, secondary cause exclusion, and genetic testing to differentiate monogenic FCS from polygenic sHTG. While strict dietary fat restriction, fibrates, and omega-3 fatty acids remain foundational lifestyle and therapeutic measures, traditional agents fail to reliably mitigate pancreatitis risk. For monogenic FCS, RNA-targeted therapies like volanesorsen (approved ex-US) and the newer plozasiran have shifted the paradigm. For the broader sHTG population, TRYNGOLZA (olezarsen)—a GalNAc-conjugated APOC3 antisense oligonucleotide administered as a monthly subcutaneous injection—is an FDA-approved milestone demonstrated to profoundly lower triglycerides and slash acute pancreatitis events by 85%. While earlier ANGPTL3-targeted antisense approaches like vupanorsen were discontinued due to hepatic safety issues, next-generation RNAi alternatives targeting lipid-lipase inhibitors continue to advance the therapeutic frontier. Prognosis is highly favorable with stringent triglyceride control, requiring an integrated regimen of targeted biologics, strict dietary adherence, and long-term metabolic surveillance.
