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]
    • Advanced age (more than 70 year's)
    • Chronic smoking
    • Gall stones
    • Impacted bile duct stones
    • Benign or malignant stricture
    • Biliary tract surgery[3]
    • ERCP[4]

Less Common Risk Factors
