Abstract:
Clinically, alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis is commonly indistinguishable from acute pancreatitis. A relationship between these two forms of pancreatitis has therefore been suggested. This article presents a pathogenetic model which views the development and course of chronic pancreatitis as a consequence of severe acute pancreatitis.
