Overview

Causes

The causes of pancreatitis are many but at least 70% of adult cases are associated with chronic alcohol use, and most patients have consumed more than 80 g/day of alcohol over six to twelve years.^[1]^[2]

Major associations with chronic pancreatitis ^[3]^[4]^[5]
- Alcohol^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]
  - ≥80 g of ethanol consumption a day for at least 5 years
  - Most common cause in men
  - Least common cause in women^[12]
- Tropical pancreatitis^[13]^[14]^[15]
- Autoimmunity
  - Autoimmune pancreatitis
  - Associated with other systemic disorders (Sjogren syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or primary biliary cholangitis)
- Obstruction^[16]
  - Fibrotic stenosis of either the papilla of Vater or the main pancreatic duct
  - Trauma
  - Pseudocysts
  - Stones
  - Tumors
  - Pancreas divisum^[17] ^[18]^[19]^[20]
- Anatomic variations
  - Pancreas divisum^[17] ^[18]^[19]^[20]
  - Paraduodenal pancreatitis (Cystic dystrophy of the duodenal wall/groove pancreatitis^[21])
- Metabolic or systemic diseases
  - Hypercalcemia
  - Hypertryglyceridemia^[22]
  - Hyperparathyroidism^[23]
  - Cystic fibrosis^[24]
  - Systemic lupus erythematosus^[25]
- Genetic
