Cholangitis Treatment in Mohali

The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ located below the liver on the right side of the abdomen. Its main function is to store bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fats in the food we eat.

Cholangitis can become serious if not treated promptly. Early medical evaluation and appropriate treatment are important.

What is Cholangitis?

Cholangitis most commonly occurs when there is a blockage in the bile duct, allowing bacteria to multiply in stagnant bile. The blockage is often caused by stones in the common bile duct (CBD), but other causes are possible.

When infection spreads into the bloodstream, it may lead to a life-threatening condition called sepsis. Therefore, cholangitis is considered a medical emergency in many cases.

Causes

Common causes include:

• Stones in the common bile duct (CBD stones)
• Narrowing (stricture) of the bile duct
• Tumors obstructing the bile duct
• Biliary stent blockage
• Parasitic infections (rare)
• Post-surgical complications

Risk Factors

• History of gallstones
• Previous bile duct procedures
• Biliary stent placement
• Advanced age
• Diabetes
• Weakened immune system

Common Symptoms

Symptoms may develop suddenly and can vary in severity.

Fever and chills

Pain in the upper right abdomen

Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)

Nausea and vomiting

A classic combination of fever, abdominal pain, and jaundice is often associated with acute cholangitis.

Possible Complications

If not treated promptly, cholangitis may lead to:

Sepsis (bloodstream infection)
Liver abscess
Liver failure
Multi-organ dysfunction

Early diagnosis significantly reduces complications.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and investigations such as:

Blood tests (including liver function tests and infection markers)
Ultrasound abdomen
CT scan
MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography)
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)

These tests help identify infection, obstruction, and underlying causes.

Types of Cholangitis

Acute Cholangitis

Sudden onset of infection and inflammation. This form may require urgent hospital treatment.

Chronic Cholangitis

Long-standing inflammation of the bile ducts, often associated with autoimmune or structural disorders.

Treatment

Hospital Management

Intravenous fluids
Broad-spectrum antibiotics
Monitoring of vital signs

Relief of Obstruction

• ERCP to remove stones or place a stent
• Percutaneous drainage (in selected cases)
• Surgical intervention when necessary

Treatment decisions are made after careful clinical evaluation by a qualified specialist.

Prevention

Early treatment of gallstones
Regular follow-up after bile duct procedures
Proper management of biliary stents
Timely medical consultation if symptoms arise
