Acute pancreatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the pancreas, the organ responsible for producing hormones and enzymes that help to digest food. It can be caused by a number of factors, including alcohol consumption, gallstones, and certain medications. The most common presenting symptom of acute pancreatitis is abdominal pain. This pain can range from mild to severe and is typically localized to the upper abdomen, near the ribcage. It may also radiate to the back and may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting. Other common symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss. In some cases, the skin and whites of the eyes may take on a yellowish hue, a condition known as jaundice.
