Acute pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is a medical condition describing inflammation of the pancreas. Pancreatitis can be either acute or chronic. Acute pancreatitis is typically caused by the over-activation of pancreatic enzymes, which can be due to either pancreatic acinar damage or outflow tract obstruction. "I GET SMASHED" is a mnemonic device used to help recall the causes of acute pancreatitis.
