The most common causes behind an inflamed pancreas are prolonged alcohol abuse and gallstones. Some hereditary disorders can cause pancreatitis, as can certain medications and viruses. When pancreatitis is caused by medication and viruses, it is usually an acute attack and rarely long-lived.
Acute pancreatitis is usually a sudden and severe illness caused when the pancreas rapidly becomes inflamed. Pancreas enzymes and various poisons (toxins) may enter the blood stream in an acute attack, and injure other organs such as the heart, lungs and kidneys. However, the pancreas can return to virtual normality if the cause of the attack is found and treated.
