pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the pancreas, a gland located behind the stomach that is involved in producing digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin. This inflammation can happen in acute or chronic forms. Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and typically resolves within a few days with treatment, while chronic pancreatitis occurs over many years and can lead to permanent damage and digestive complications. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Causes can include gallstones, excessive alcohol use, certain medications, and genetic factors.

Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. It has several causes and symptoms and requires immediate medical attention. It occurs when pancreatic enzymes that digest food are activated in the pancreas instead of the small intestine. It may be acute—beginning suddenly and lasting a few days, or chronic—occurring over many years.
