Cholecystocholangitis

Cholecystocholangitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder and bile ducts.

This disease is characterized by simultaneous damage to the gallbladder (cholecystitis) and bile ducts (cholangitis). This causes inflammation of the mucous membrane of the gallbladder and bile ducts.

The main causes of cholecystocholangitis include:

1. Stagnation of bile due to a violation of its outflow (for example, with cholelithiasis)

2. Infectious agents (most often Escherichia coli, staphylococci, streptococci)

3. Biliary tract injury

4. Tumor lesion of the ducts

Clinical manifestations of cholecystocholangitis:

1. Pain in the right hypochondrium, worsening with deep inspiration

2. Fever

3. Jaundice

4. Nausea and vomiting

Diagnosis is based on analysis of the clinical picture, laboratory data and instrumental methods (ultrasound, MRI, endoscopy).

Treatment of cholecystocholangitis includes antibacterial therapy, drainage of the biliary tract, and correction of bile flow disorders. If conservative therapy is ineffective, surgery may be required.

The prognosis with timely treatment is favorable. However, the disease is prone to relapse and become chronic.
