Pancreatitis: pancreatitis is a term for inflammation of the pancreas. It is a fairly common problem, and can be severe and even life-threatening at times. The most common causes of pancreatitis in the US are alcohol, gallbladder disease, and medications. In some people the cause is unknown. Pancreatitis can cause severe pain in the abdomen, which often goes straight through to the back.
