What is Pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, a small organ located behind the stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digest food and hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels. When the pancreas is inflamed, it can cause pain, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms.

There are two main types of pancreatitis: acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that usually lasts less than six weeks. Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term inflammation of the pancreas that lasts for more than six weeks.

Acute pancreatitis is often caused by gallstones or alcohol abuse. Chronic pancreatitis is most commonly caused by alcohol abuse, but it can also be caused by other factors, such as autoimmune disFree Downloads, genetic mutations, and certain medications.
