Cystic Fibrosis
Patients with cystic fibrosis tend to be at an increased risk of pancreas issues, including pancreatitis. The reason is that a specific protein known as the cystic fibrosis affects this organ under the effects of the condition. Since the main function of this protein is to control salt and water as well as how to get rid of these components, a change in the flowing patter would make water and salt thicken into mucus. As a result, it harms your pancreases and leads to pancreatitis. [3]
