The pancreas
The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach, next to the first part of the small intestine.
- It sends digestive juices into the small intestine through the pancreatic duct.
- It releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the blood.
Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, which happens when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself. It can be acute or chronic — both are serious and can lead to complications.

|---|---|---|
| Course | comes on suddenly, usually clears in a few days with treatment | doesn't heal; worsens over time, causing permanent damage |
| Common cause | gallstones | heavy alcohol use; also cystic fibrosis and other inherited disorders, high blood calcium or fats, some medicines, and autoimmune conditions |
| Symptoms | severe upper-abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting | nausea, vomiting, weight loss, oily stools |
| Treatment | a few days in the hospital: IV fluids, antibiotics, pain relief | a few days in the hospital for IV fluids, pain relief and nutritional support; then possibly enzyme pills and a special diet — and no smoking or alcohol |
