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.
The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen, behind the stomach. When the pancreas is inflamed, the body is not able to absorb the nutrients it needs. Pancreatitis may be either acute (sudden and severe) or chronic. Both types of pancreatitis can cause bleeding and tissue death in or around the pancreas.Mild attacks of acute pancreatitis can improve on their own, or with dietary changes.In the case of recurring pancreatitis, however, long-term damage to the pancreas is common, sometimes leading to malnutrition and diabetes.oth types of pancreatitis can cause bleeding and tissue death in or around the pancreas.
