This mini-review provides an overview of pancreatic disorders, including acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and diabetes. The pancreas plays a crucial role in the digestive and endocrine systems of the body, producing enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that regulate blood sugar levels. Acute pancreatitis is a sudden and severe inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by gallstones or excessive alcohol consumption, and requires hospitalization, pain management, and intravenous fluids to support the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term inflammation of the pancreas that may lead to permanent damage and impairment of digestive function. Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the pancreas and is often difficult to detect and diagnose in its early stages. Treatment for pancreatic cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce or use insulin, and there are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults and requires lifelong insulin therapy, while type 2 diabetes can often be managed with lifestyle modifications and medication.
