Cholangitis is an inflammation of the bile glands, which are located in the intestine

 

The glands produce a substance that aids in the digestion of fats and proteins. Cholengitis is also known as "gastritis." In general, bile secretion increases in response to infection, injury, or nutritional stress. In cholangitis, bile can be affected by excessive bile production and inflammation.

 

In biliary tract obstruction and biliary colic are the most common symptoms. The bile is carried through the biliary duct to the small intestine where it is metabolized by the liver. In biliary tract obstruction, the bile becomes enlarged and hardens causing inflammation in the biliary duct. In biliary colic, a persistent inflammation develops in the duct which is associated with vomiting and regurgitation of bile into the esophagus. Most people who have primary biliary colic develop scleroderma, which is a thickening of the mucous membrane. In some cases, scleroderma can cause scarring and tissue damage that leads to severe liver disease.

 

In primary cholangitis, biliary tract obstruction is usually caused by small blood vessels in the liver. Inflammation of these small vessels may result in a buildup of fluids and increased pressure in the biliary duct. In most people, biliary obstruction can be easily treated with anticholinergic medications. In more severe cases, surgery may be required. In mild cases, the symptoms usually subside on their own.

 

In more severe cases, if untreated, biliary tract obstruction and biliary colic can result in a complete blockage. This condition, known as cirrhosis, is a life-threatening condition that is characterized by scarring and extensive tissue destruction. Although surgery may eliminate biliary obstruction and prevent biliary colic, it can only treat the symptoms. In the case of cirrhosis, the symptoms can recur indefinitely. Treatment can either involve surgical removal of the diseased bile or repair of the internal lining of the biliary tract. Surgery may also lead to a permanent obstruction of the biliary duct.

 

Acute cholangitis can often be treated with simple medicines, such as choline, which is available over the counter at health food stores. B vitamins and antioxidants can help reduce inflammation. In some cases, antibiotics can be prescribed to reduce the severity of symptoms. Antibiotics are usually recommended in cases of chronic, severe cholangitis because they are effective in eliminating bacteria that can lead to infection and inflammation.

 

In addition to antigens and antibiotics, steroids can be used to treat biliary colic in severe cases of cholangitis

 

Steroids are used in acute cases of cholangitis because they stimulate the liver and stimulate bile production and metabolism. Corticosteroids and glucocorticoids are also effective for treating chronic cases. If these treatments fail, surgery may be necessary to remove the obstruction and repair damaged biliary tissue. Surgery for cholangitis is usually performed in children and is rarely done in adults.

 

The treatment of liver disease in adults has many advantages, but it must be done under the supervision of a physician. Some medicines may result in a worsening of the liver condition in adults. If you experience liver damage, it is important to take certain precautions to prevent permanent liver damage and death. Patients with cirrhosis should avoid alcohol and tobacco use, as these substances increase the risk of liver failure. Liver transplantation is also often required to treat patients with chronic liver failure. As with children, patients with liver disease should eat a diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and exercise to improve the function of the liver.

 

Chronic biliary colic in adults may be a symptom of other disorders, such as inflammation of the spleen or gallbladder, or even gallstones. In order to treat this condition, you should see your doctor as soon as possible. It is best to avoid treatment in patients who have already experienced some form of biliary colic.
