Pancreatitis is divided into acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is a condition caused by various reasons that lead to damage in the pancreatic tissue. This results in the premature activation of enzymes meant for digesting food, which instead begin to digest the pancreas itself. This “self-destructive” behavior leads to a series of consequences known as acute pancreatitis. The symptoms of acute pancreatitis primarily include abdominal pain, predominantly upper abdominal pain, which occurs suddenly and is persistent, severe, or knife-like, with intermittent exacerbation; fever, nausea, vomiting frequently, with vomitus consisting of food, bile, and even blood, and the abdominal pain does not ease after vomiting; some patients may also have jaundice, often caused by gallstones or common bile duct stones inducing pancreatitis, possibly accompanied by itching of the skin. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is not necessarily caused by repeated attacks of acute pancreatitis, but rather by various causes leading to persistent inflammatory changes in the pancreas, characterized mainly by chronic and persistent inflammation, damage, and fibrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma. This can lead to irreversible morphological changes such as dilation of the pancreatic ducts, pancreatic duct stones, or calcification. Symptoms include abdominal pain, primarily upper abdominal pain, which may radiate to the back, often triggered by alcohol consumption, overeating, a high-fat diet, or fatigue; gastrointestinal symptoms include reduced appetite, bloating, and indigestion; exocrine manifestations include diarrhea, specifically steatorrhea, where the stool contains oil droplets and often has a foul odor; there may also be weight loss, emaciation, and endocrine manifestations, such as what we commonly refer to as diabetes.
