Key Words	Chronic pancreatitis; Pathogenesis; Risk factors; Etiology
Core Tip	The reported prevalence of chronic pancreatitis (CP) is approximately 0.5%. Etiological risk-factors associated with CP are multiple and throughout the review the M-ANNHEIM classification is used comprising environmental factors (alcohol consumption, nicotine habits and nutrition), hereditary, well characterized mutations, ductal obstruction and autoimmune factors. CP is characterized by progressive fibrotic destruction of glandular tissue, inflammation or duct obstruction, leading to irreversible functional impairment of both exocrine and endocrine functions. In view of the multi-factorial disease and the complex clinical picture, it is not surprising that treatment of patients with CP is challenging and often unsuccessful.
