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.
Inflammation of the pancreas that gets worse over time is considered chronic pancreatitis. Persistent or chronic pancreatitis can damage the pancreas and lead to other problems,such as EPI. EPI develops when the pancreas isnât able to produce the digestive enzymes needed to digest food.
