Abstract

Background: Zieve syndrome, first described in 1958, is a rare and underdiagnosed complication of chronic alcohol use. It is defined by the triad of hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and hyperlipidemia. While classically associated with alcoholic hepatitis, its occurrence in acute pancreatitis is infrequent and can be easily overlooked.
