Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, an organ responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin. It can present as acute, with sudden and severe symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, or as chronic, with recurring episodes that can lead to long-term damage and complications. Common causes include gallstones, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and genetic factors. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, managing pain, and supporting pancreatic function, often requiring hospitalization for severe cases.
Patients are the experts in their condition and advocacy groups provide a platform for patient voices. Working directly with these communities is the key to pushing research forward in an inclusive way.
Pancreatitis is a painful and potentially serious condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Despite its prevalence, pancreatitis remains relatively misunderstood by many. By increasing awareness and support for those affected by pancreatitis, we can make a positive impact on their lives. Leapcure is dedicated to providing resources and support for patients and advocates impacted by pancreatitis.
