Cholecystitis, an inflammation of the gallbladder, can lead to pancreatitis if a gallstone obstructs the common bile duct, which can block the pancreatic duct as well. This obstruction causes digestive enzymes to back up into the pancreas, leading to inflammation and irritation, known as pancreatitis. Additionally, the inflammatory process from cholecystitis can release substances that further aggravate the pancreas. Prompt treatment of cholecystitis is crucial to prevent such complications.
