What is the difference between pancreatitis and enteritis

Pancreatitis is an inflammatory lesion that occurs in the pancreas, but it is a chemical inflammation that is caused by an inflammatory reaction in which pancreatic enzymes are activated in the pancreas for various reasons, causing the pancreatic tissue to digest itself, edema, bleeding, and even necrosis. Enteritis, on the other hand, is an inflammatory lesion of the intestinal tract, mostly caused by bacterial or viral infections and other factors. The difference between the two in terms of clinical symptoms: pancreatitis patients mainly manifest severe abdominal pain, and is a continuous abdominal pain, can be accompanied by abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, fever and so on. Some patients may experience vague pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by abdominal distention and changes in the nature of the stool. Patients with pancreatitis must be hospitalized, and in the case of severe pancreatitis, the condition is very dangerous, often secondary to infection, peritonitis, shock and other complications, with a high death rate. In contrast, enteritis is usually treated on an outpatient basis, mainly by giving medication to regulate the intestinal flora, and the results are more desirable.
