Acute pancreatitis can be caused by prolonged drinking, medication or over-eating.
1. Prolonged drinking: Alcohol promotes secretion of pancreatitis, and when the ductal outflow tract cannot adequately drain a large amount of pancreatic fluid, it will lead to increased intraductal pressure, which will lead to damage to the alveolar cells.
The metabolism of alcohol in the liver will also produce a large amount of activated oxygen, which also helps to activate the inflammatory response, thus causing acute pancreatitis.
2. Drugs: Acute pancreatitis can be induced by prolonged use of thiazide diuretics, azathioprine, glucocorticoids and other drugs. It occurs more often in the first two months of taking the drug, and the dose of the drug does not have a clear correlation.
3. Overeating: Overeating can also cause acute pancreatitis. This is because the glandular fluid secreted after eating cannot pass through the ductal outflow tract to the duodenum, resulting in increased pressure in the pancreatic duct.
Pancreatitis is a critical condition, patients should consult the doctor in time, complete the relevant examination, clear diagnosis, and then take appropriate treatment program.
