🔥 Pancreatitis: When the Pancreas Turns Against Itself 🔥

Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, a vital organ responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin.

🔹 In acute pancreatitis, enzymes become active too early, damaging the pancreas itself.
🔹 In chronic pancreatitis, ongoing inflammation leads to permanent tissue damage.

🧬 Common causes include:
– Gallstones
– Excessive alcohol use
– High triglycerides
– Certain medications or infections

📉 Symptoms can include:
– Intense upper abdominal pain
– Nausea and vomiting
– Fever
– Tenderness in the abdomen

Pancreatitis can impact digestion, nutrient absorption, and blood sugar regulation. In severe cases, it can become life-threatening.
