Other chronic pancreatitis - what does this mean

Other chronic pancreatitis is a type of pancreatitis that is not caused by alcohol abuse or gallstones. it is caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, such as smoking, certain medications, and certain autoimmune diseases. it is characterized by inflammation of the pancreas, leading to pain, digestive issues, and a decreased ability to absorb nutrients from food.

What happens during the disease - other chronic pancreatitis

Other chronic pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed over a long period of time due to a variety of causes, such as alcohol consumption, smoking, genetic factors, and certain medications. this inflammation causes the destruction of pancreatic tissue, leading to the development of scar tissue, which can block the flow of digestive enzymes and cause inflammation of the surrounding tissue. as a result, the pancreas is unable to function properly, leading to a wide range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and malabsorption of nutrients.
