ABSTRACT:
A method for treating acute or chronic pancreatitis comprising administering an effective amount of an Interleukin-1 (IL-1) block to antagonize IL-1 production, and in one embodiment by inhibiting IL-1 production at the source, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a person who has pancreatitis. One such IL-1 block is an Interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE) antagonist.
