Overview
Common risk factors in the development of ascending cholangitis include bile duct stones, history of gall stones, biliary strictures, and biliary tract surgery. Less common factors include immunodeffeciency, comorbidities and sclerosing cholangitis. There is a higher risk of acute cholangitis in patients with advanced age (>70) and smoking.
Risk Factors
There are multiple factors that predispose a person to develop ascending or acute cholangitis. Some of these are as follows:
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of ascending cholangitis may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
- Common risk factors in the development of ascending cholangitis include:[1][2]
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of acute cholangitis include:[5]
- Travel to countries where you might catch a worm or parasite infection
- Sclerosing cholangitis
- HIV
- Narrowing of the common bile duct
- Comorbid neurological disease
- Peripapillary diverticulum
