1. Biliary tract disease

Avoid or eliminate biliary disease. For example, prevent intestinal roundworms, promptly treat bile duct stones, and avoid acute attacks of bile duct diseases.

2. Alcoholism

People who drink heavily on a regular basis suffer damage to their liver, pancreas and other organs due to chronic alcohol poisoning and malnutrition, and their ability to fight infection decreases. On this basis, acute pancreatitis may result from a single alcohol abuse episode.
