There are three forms of pancreatitis, which are different in causes and symptoms, and require different treatment:
* Acute pancreatitis: One-time occurrence
* Chronic pancreatitis: Persists even after the cause has been removed
* Hereditary pancreatitis: - A genetic abnormality leads to activation of enzymes. Acute hepatic porphyrias including acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria and variegate porphyria are genetic disorders that can be linked to both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis has also occurred with erythropoietic protoporphyria.
