Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It can occur in two forms: acute and chronic. Acute pancreatitis typically presents suddenly and can resolve with treatment, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-lasting condition that can lead to permanent damage to the pancreas. Common causes include gallstones, chronic and excessive alcohol consumption, and certain medications.
