Overview
Acute cholangitis may be classified into grade I, II, or III, depending on the severity of the condition.
Classification
The severity of cholangitis can be classified into three grades, based on the onset of organ dysfunction and the patient's response to the initial medical treatment:[1][2][3]
- Mild (grade I)
- Moderate (grade II)
- Severe (grade III)
The severity assessment criteria for acute cholangitis according to Tokyo guidelines is as follows:[4][5][6]
| Severity assessment of cholangitis | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Severity | ||
| Mild (grade I) | Moderate (grade II) | Severe (grade III) | |
| Onset of organ dysfunction | – | – | + |
| Response to medical treatment | + | – | – |
Grade I acute cholangitis
Grade I, or mild acute cholangitis, don't meet the criteria of neither grade II (moderate) nor grade III (severe) acute cholangitis. The patient responds to initial medical treatment.
Grade II acute cholangitis
Grade II, or moderate acute cholangitis, is characterized by the presence of any two of the following:
- Abnormal white blood cell (WBC) count: >12,000/mm3, <4,000/mm3
- Fever ≥39°C
- Age ≥75 years
- Elevated total bilirubin ≥5 mg/dl
- Decreased albumin level <0.7 x standard
Grade III acute cholangitis
Grade III, or severe acute cholangitis, is characterized by the onset of dysfunction in at least one of the following:
- Cardiovascular system: decreased blood pressure that necessitates the administration of dopamine (>5 μg/kg/min) or norepinephrine
- Neurological system: abnormal consciousness
- Respiratory system: PaO2/FiO2 ratio <300
- Renal system: serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl, decreased urine output
- Hepatic system: PT-INR >1.5
- Hematological system: platelet count < 100,000/mm3
