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:
