Abstract:
In the survey a review is made of the etiological factors (CBD obstruction and infected bile under increased pressure) as well as the mechanisms of developing acute bacterial cholangitis, acute Suppurative cholangitis, increased biliary pressure, cholangio-venus reflux, damaged function of the Kuppfer cells and the routes of bacterial penetration. The bacterial specter of the infection is analyzed alongside with the classification and staging of acute cholangitis. Current treatment of acute cholangitis is related to the high-priorirty, widespread use of endoscopic methods of biliary decompression. Emergency surgical treatment is associated with high mortality.
