Trypsinogen might then be turned into activated trypsin which begins the cascade of digestive enzyme activation and autodigestion of the pancreas—which is acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis is inflammation caused by destruction of the pancreas by its own digestive enzymes —a process called autodigestion, and is generally reversible.
Alcohol also contributes to pancreatitis in other ways, though, for example, stimulating acinar cells to release inflammatory cytokines which attracts a strong immune reaction.
In addition to alcohol abuse, other known causes of acute pancreatitis that frequently turn into chronic pancreatitis include tumors, trauma to the pancreas, and cystic fibrosis.
People with chronic pancreatitis often have continuous or intense intermittent abdominal pain in the epigastric region, that sometimes radiates to the back.
In addition, in certain conditions like alcoholic acute pancreatitis calcium deposits of various sizes can accumulate on the plugs that form in the ducts.
