  • Title: Approach to acute, recurrent, and chronic pancreatitis.
    Author: Kinney TP, Freeman ML.
    Journal: Minn Med; 2008 Jun; 91(6):29-33. PubMed ID: 18616018.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatitis can manifest as a one-time episode, recurring attacks, or chronic pain. It is caused by numerous factors ranging from alcohol consumption to gallstones to subtle obstructive causes and occult autoimmune disorders. As a result, determining the etiology and effectively treating the causes and consequences of pancreatitis can be challenging. This article reviews the diagnosis and management of acute, acute recurrent, and chronic pancreatitis, focusing on more challenging scenarios.
