Acute Pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that helps with digestion and blood sugar regulation. It can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. The condition often arises from factors like gallstones, excessive alcohol consumption, or certain medications. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and imaging studies, such as CT scans or ultrasound. Treatment usually requires hospitalization, where patients may receive fluids, pain relief, and sometimes surgery to address underlying issues. Most people recover fully, but severe cases can lead to complications, including infection or organ failure.
