Most cases of acute pancreatitis in the United States are due to gallstones or heavy alcohol consumption. Other causes include certain prescription drugs, trauma or surgery to the abdomen, or abnormalities of the pancreas or intestine. In rare cases, the disease may result from infections, such as mumps. In about 15 percent of cases of acute pancreatitis, the cause is unknown.

The National Pancreas Foundation

Chronic pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that does not heal or improve—it gets worse over time and leads to permanent damage. Chronic pancreatitis eventually impairs a patient’s ability to digest food and make pancreatic hormones. Industrialized countries have estimated that approximately 3.5 to 10 people in every 100,000 develop chronic pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis often develops in patients between the ages of 30 and 40, and is more common in men than women.
