Pancreas
Diseases of the pancreas
The pancreas is important in several ways: digestive juices, which break down food in the intestine, are produced here, as are the important hormones insulin and glucagon, which are important for blood sugar levels.

What are diseases of the pancreas?
Pancreatic disorders lead to increased or decreased blood sugar levels, which can cause fainting, dizziness or excessive thirst, for example. In the long term, this can lead to calcification of the arteries.
