Cholangitis is usually caused by a [[bacterial infection]], which can occur when there is blockage in the [[duct]], such as a [[gallstone]] or [[tumor]]. The [[infection]] causing this condition may also spread to the [[liver]].

===Common Causes===
===Life-threatening causes===
The most common causes of biliary obstruction are [[Gallstone|biliary calculi]], benign stricture or malignant [[neoplasms]]. Benign strictures are caused by primary [[Sclerotherapy|sclerosing]] cholangitis, [[ischemic]] cholangitis, [[iatrogenic]] [[biliary tract]] injury, [[congenital disease]] and [[infection]].  Chronic [[inflammation]] predisposed to the development of [[cholangiocarcinoma]].  Extraluminal obstruction can occur from [[pancreatic cancer]] or [[pseudocyst]], [[lymphoma]], [[hepatoma]], [[metastatic]] disease or ampullary cancer. Any condition in the CBD that leads to [[stasis]], including benign or malignant [[stricture]], parasitic infection, or extrinsic compression by the [[pancreas]] can result in bacterial infection and cholangitis. There is a higher rate of infection due to partial obstruction of the CBD compared to a complete obstruction.<ref name="pmid17556149">{{cite journal |vauthors=Kinney TP |title=Management of ascending cholangitis |journal=Gastrointest.

Acute suppurative cholangitis is a life-threatening cause of cholangitis.
 
===Other Causes===
Bile duct obstructions are generally due to [[gallstones]]. 10-30% of cases are due to other causes, such as:<ref name="pmid17556149">{{cite journal |vauthors=Kinney TP |title=Management of ascending cholangitis |journal=Gastrointest.

* Postoperative damage or altered structure of bile duct, such as narrowing at site of an [[anastomosis]]
*Various tumors (cancer of the bile duct, [[gallbladder]], [[ampulla of Vater]], [[pancreas]], or [[duodenum]]).
*Anaerobic organisms such as [[Clostridium]] and [[Bacteroides]]


Parasites can infect the liver and bile ducts, which can also cause cholangitis. These include:<ref name="pmid21603286">{{cite journal |vauthors=Lim JH |title=Liver flukes: the malady neglected |journal=Korean J Radiol |volume=12 |issue=3 |pages=269–79 |year=2011 |pmid=21603286 |pmc=3088844 |doi=10.3348/kjr.2011.12.3.269 |url=}}</ref>
===Common causes===
*Roundworm [[Ascaris lumbricoides]]

Overview

Cholangitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection, which can occur when there is blockage in the bile duct, such as a gallstone or tumor. The infection causing this condition may also spread to the liver.

Causes

Life-threatening causes

Acute suppurative cholangitis is a life-threatening cause of cholangitis.

Common causes

Cholangitis is usually caused by bile stasis. It is the ascending infection of the bile duct by bacteria, and/or parasites.

Cholangitis may be caused by:

Less common causes

Less common causes of cholangitis include:
