The most common cause of pancreatitis is gallstones, which occur when bile within the gallbladder hardens and forms into stones. Gallstones can cause inflammation and irritation of the pancreas, leading to pancreatitis. Other causes of pancreatitis include excessive alcohol consumption, cystic fibrosis, high levels of triglycerides, viral infections, trauma, certain medications, and some metabolic disorders. It is important to seek medical advice if you think you may be at risk of pancreatitis.
