Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is inflammation in the pancreas. The pancreas is a long, level organ that sits tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digestion and hormones that help direct the way your body procedures sugar (glucose). Pancreas can occur as acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis.
