Abstract:
Acute pancreatitis represents a severe health problem, not only because of the number of people affected but also because of the severity of its clinical presentation that can eventually lead to the death of patients. The study of the disease is complex, and we lack optimized models that can approach the clinical presentation in patients, in addition to the significant vulnerability of the organ itself. In the present work, we undertook the task of reviewing and analyzing the experimental methods most currently used for the induction of acute pancreatitis, emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of each model and their delimitation based on experimental objectives. We aimed to provide an actual and quick-access guide for researchers interested in experimental acute pancreatitis.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
