Experimental pancreatitis in the rat. Sodium taurocholate-induced acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis
Abstract:
Sodium taurocholate injected into the pancreatic duct system of the rat caused acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis. The pancreatic lesions were immediate and characterized by interstitial oedema, extensive necrotic changes of the acinar cells, and haemorrhages during the first 24 h after the injection. In animals surviving 72 h there were marked acinar atrophy and pancreatic fibrosis. The mortality increased according to the amount of sodium taurocholate injected. Except for necrosis of occasional liver cells, other organs examined were histologically normal. This investigation created an experimental model for studying the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. The results support the hypothesis that bile can initiate acute haemorrhagic 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:
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
