ABSTRACT Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) can interfere with laboratory assays. HTG‐induced pancreatitis usually presents with hypocalcemia, but the effect of severe HTG, with no associated pancreatitis, on calcium levels is not well described. We present a 25‐year‐old male with severe HTG and diabetes who presented with generalized weakness, nausea ...

Abstract Congenital bile acid synthesis defects (BASD), the most common of which is 3β‐hydroxy‐Δ5‐C27‐steroid dehydrogenase oxidoreductase (3β‐HSD7) deficiency, are a rare cause of fat‐soluble vitamin malabsorption. We describe a 14‐year‐old girl who presented at 14 months with a left distal femur fracture and failure to thrive.
