Acute pancreatitis is now prevalent and is often caused by gallstones, alcohol consumption, and hyperlipidemia, among other reasons. After the onset of acute pancreatitis, patients typically experience abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fever, and even jaundice. Symptoms generally do not significantly alleviate after vomiting. Acute pancreatitis itself is not a contagious disease and does not spread from person to person. Contagious diseases involve a source of infection, a mode of transmission, and a susceptible population. Acute pancreatitis is merely a common illness, primarily caused by medical and surgical issues. Therefore, treatment mainly focuses on the organic causes of pancreatitis.
