pancreatitis
Let an agent explain pancreatitis, relay causes, warning signs, assessment and general management from gastroenterology guidelines, describe the forms the registry aliases name including canine pancreatitis, and distinguish pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer, gallbladder disease and peptic ulcer, routing emergencies first.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain pancreatitis, relay causes, warning signs, assessment and general management from gastroenterology guidelines, describe the forms the registry aliases name including canine pancreatitis, and distinguish pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer, gallbladder disease and peptic ulcer, routing emergencies first.
Inflammation of the pancreas, occurring as acute pancreatitis, most often caused by gallstones or alcohol, with sudden severe upper abdominal pain that can become life-threatening, and chronic pancreatitis with progressive damage causing pain, malabsorption and diabetes, including post-ERCP pancreatitis after an endoscopic procedure, alcoholic pancreatitis and pancreatitis in transplanted grafts; the registry alias canine pancreatitis names the veterinary disease in dogs. Severe abdominal pain needs emergency care. The model routes people to clinicians and veterinarians.
What it is for: Not applicable; a disease.
It can be route emergencies first; explain forms and causes; relay general management; distinguish related conditions.
Distinguishing features
Pancreatic inflammation
Acute or chronic
Potentially severe
Human and veterinary forms
What it looks like
Not a visible object; an inflamed pancreas on imaging.
Physical character
acute pancreatitis incidence: about 34 per 100000 per year - global estimate
main causes: gallstones and alcohol list
diagnosis: two of pain, enzyme rise over 3 times normal, imaging note - Atlanta criteria
How it is recognised
Inflammation of the pancreas
Acute, chronic, alcoholic, post-ERCP and graft pancreatitis; canine pancreatitis
Pancreatic cancer is a tumour; gallbladder disease affects the gallbladder; peptic ulcers affect the stomach or duodenum
