When protective mechanisms overcome inappropriate activation of enzymes within pancreas
Resulting in “auto-digestion” of pancreatic cells and inflammatory reaction (interleukins, TNF, PAF)
Acinar cells damaged and leak activated digestive enzymes into the intercellular space => fat necrosis => retroperitoneal/systemic inflammation
