5. Pancreatitis Pancreas - an organ that makes bicarbonate to nutralize gastric acid, enzymes to digest the contents of a meal and insulin to signal the body to store ingested nutrients. Pancreas - an organ that makes bicarbonate to nutralize gastric acid, enzymes to digest the contents of a meal and insulin to signal the body to store ingested nutrients. Acute Pancreatitis - An acute, potentially life-threatening condition presenting with severe abdominal pain in which the pancreas appears to digest itself. It is usually caused by gallstones, alcohol or is idiopathic. Acute Pancreatitis - An acute, potentially life-threatening condition presenting with severe abdominal pain in which the pancreas appears to digest itself. It is usually caused by gallstones, alcohol or is idiopathic. Chronic Pancreatitis - an irreversible scarring of the pancreas with permanent loss of pancreatic function that typically causes unrelenting abdominal pain. Chronic Pancreatitis - an irreversible scarring of the pancreas with permanent loss of pancreatic function that typically causes unrelenting abdominal pain. Hereditary Pancreatitis - a unusual form of acute and chronic pancreatitis that runs in families. The risk of pancreatic cancer is >50 times normal.

Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is an unusual form of acute and chronic pancreatitis that runs in families. The risk of pancreatic cancer is >50 times normal. Although HP is only responsible for 2-3% of all cases of chronic pancreatitis, study of this disease has revolutionized our understanding of pancreatic diseases Although HP is only responsible for 2-3% of all cases of chronic pancreatitis, study of this disease has revolutionized our understanding of pancreatic diseases Pancreas

11. E-mail Dear Dr.Whitcomb, Hi, the Doctors think I have hereditary pancreatitis because my dad has it too. I don't really know much about it except that it hurts in your back, sides and stomachs areas. (speaking from experience) I've been in the hospital once for it because it was the worst attack I've had. If you could send me more information on it, it would be greatly appreciated. By the way I'm 12, just in case it matters. My dad's 42. Have a nice day Dr.Whitcomb
