Overview

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.
