The term “pancreatitis” encompasses several diseases and syndromes characterized by inflammatory processes in the pancreas. Inflammation of the pancreas is characterized by the activation of enzymes produced by the gland within itself instead of entering the duodenum. As a result, processes of pancreatic tissue destruction are initiated, and toxins and enzymes produced in the process enter the bloodstream, damaging other organs. Typical symptoms of acute pancreatitis include persistent pain in the upper abdomen radiating to the left and constant vomiting with bile admixture. If the head of the pancreas is enlarged, the possibility of mechanical jaundice cannot be ruled out, indicated by a yellowish tint of the skin, light-colored stools, and dark urine.
