Acute pancreatitis is somewhat related to the liver. Normally, the causes of acute pancreatitis are mainly considered to be biliary, alcoholic, hyperlipidemia, and other idiopathic reasons. Whether the liver is related to pancreatitis mainly depends on whether there are intrahepatic bile duct stones. If stones in the intrahepatic bile ducts are expelled into the common bile duct and stimulate the bile duct, it can induce biliary pancreatitis. This has the same symptoms and etiology as biliary pancreatitis caused by gallstones, only differing in the source of the stones. This type of pancreatitis generally requires treatment of the bile duct stones to stop the cause of the disease.
