Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is a sudden and severe inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach that plays a crucial role in digestion and regulating blood sugar levels. This condition can range from mild and self-limiting to severe and life-threatening. Acute pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas become activated within the pancreas itself, leading to tissue damage and inflammation.
The most common causes of acute pancreatitis include:
- Gallstones
- Alcohol Consumption
- Trauma or Injury
- High Triglyceride Levels
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
