Cholangitis

Cholangitis is inflammation of the bile ducts. Usually occurs when the ducts are blocked, especially by stones, or after surgery on the bile ducts. Characteristic symptoms of cholangitis are intermittent fever, usually accompanied by severe chills, and intermittent jaundice (this combination is called Charcot's triad). At the initial stage of the disease, treatment with antibiotics is indicated, but for complete recovery, surgical removal of the obstruction from the blocked duct is necessary. A possible complication of cholangitis is liver abscess; periodic exacerbations of this disease can lead to the development of secondary biliary cirrhosis. Sclerosing cholangitis is a characteristic but rare complication of ulcerative colitis; in this case, normal function is disrupted and all bile ducts become narrowed.



Cholangid is a serious disease that develops as a result of inflammation of the bile ducts. Usually accompanied by inflammation of tissue in the liver. The inflammatory process that occurs in the gallbladder and ducts often leads to damage to the liver tissue. Because of this, a toxic substance – bile – accumulates in the body.
