Disease severity ranges from mild local inflammation to multisystem organ failure secondary to a systemic inflammatory response. Cholelithiasis and alcohol abuse are the most common causes, but there are many potential etiologies. Patients without risk factors often develop pancreatitis secondary to medications or severe hyperlipidemia. Commonly used medications associated with pancreatitis include acetaminophen, carbamazepine, enalapril, estrogens, erythromycin, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, opiates, steroids, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
