Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas — a vital organ responsible for digestion and blood sugar regulation. It occurs in two primary forms:
Acute Pancreatitis: A sudden inflammation that can range from mild discomfort to a life-threatening condition.
Chronic Pancreatitis: A long-standing inflammation that gradually destroys pancreatic tissue, leading to permanent damage.
Early diagnosis and advanced treatment are essential for preventing complications such as pancreatic necrosis, diabetes, malnutrition, or even pancreatic cancer.

Advanced imaging to evaluate the pancreatic ducts, bile ducts, and surrounding structures.
High-resolution endoscopy combined with ultrasound to detect small tumors, stones, or strictures in the pancreas.
Used in chronic pancreatitis to assess exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, which leads to poor fat digestion.

Complete abstinence from alcohol and smoking Low-fat, high-protein diet Hydration and vitamin supplementation
Digestive enzymes are prescribed to improve food absorption and manage steatorrhea (fatty stools).
For patients who develop diabetes as a result of pancreatic damage.
ERCP to remove stones or place stents in strictured pancreatic ducts Endoscopic cyst drainage for pseudocysts
In advanced cases: Pancreaticojejunostomy (Puestow Procedure): Drainage of the pancreatic duct to relieve pain Partial Pancreatectomy: Removal of the damaged portion Total Pancreatectomy: Rare, but used in end-stage disease
