Pancreatitis

Pancreas secret some digestive enzymes into duodenum through a tube called the pancreatic duct. Pancreatic enzymes join with bile to digest food not only digestive juices pancreas also secret some hormones like glucagon, insulin which help in the body regulate the glucose it takes from food for energy1

Pancreatitis is inflammation to pancreas normally; digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas do not become active until they reach the small intestine. In adverse conditions pancreas is inflamed, which leads to damage of the tissue which is characterized by the enzymes present inside it and this leads to pancreatitis

It is divided into two types

• Acute pancreatitis

• Chronic pancreatitis

Occurrence of pancreatitis differ with age and sex, race, Alcohol, Smoking (independent risk factor for acute and chronic pancreatitis, and its

Acute pancreatitis occurs when intracellular protective mechanisms to prevent trypsinogen activation or reduce trypsin activity are overwhelmed. Main preconditions that trigger acute pancreatitis are pancreatic hyper stimulation and obstruction of pancreatic-bile duct, which leads to increase in the pancreatic duct pressure, active trypsin reflux, and unregulated activation of trypsin within pancreatic acinar cells4. This kind of Enzyme activation within the pancreas leads to auto-digestion of the gland and local
