5‑Year‑Old Hospitalized with Acute Pancreatitis from High‑Triglyceride Soup
A five‑year‑old boy in Phúc Châu was rushed to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain. Blood tests revealed a milky‑white appearance caused by triglyceride levels nearly ten times the normal range. Doctors diagnosed acute pancreatitis triggered by extreme hyperlipidemia.
Investigations showed the child had been given bone‑broth soup daily for an extended period, a practice his grandmother believed to be highly nutritious. Medical experts warned that prolonged consumption of rich, fatty broth can overstimulate the pancreas, increase metabolic load on the kidneys, and cause nutrient imbalances. They advised that broth should be used only as a flavoring supplement, cooked for no more than 90–120 minutes, and fat skimmed off before serving.
The case highlights the health risks of excessive intake of concentrated animal‑based soups in young children and underscores the need for balanced nutrition and parental guidance.
