AB As  emphasized  in  Chap.  341,  the  etiologies  as  well  as  clinical  manifestations  of  pancreatitis  are  quite  varied.  Although  it  is  well-appreciated  that  pancreatitis  is  frequently  secondary  to  biliary  tract  disease  and  alcohol  abuse,  it  can  also  be  caused  by  drugs,  genetic  mutations,  trauma,  and  viral  infections  and  is  associated  with  metabolic  and  connective  tissue  disorders.  In  ~30%  of  patients  with  acute  pancreatitis  and  25–40%  of  patients  with  chronic  pancreatitis,  the  etiology  initially  can  be  obscure.
