Overview
Cholangitis must be differentiated from other causes of infection in the common bile duct, as well as inflammation and infection of the gall bladder.and mainly from other causes of acute abdomen.
Differentiating Cholangitis from other Diseases
Cholangitis should be differentiated from the following:[1]
- Acute cholecystitis
- Acute hepatitis
- Acute pancreatitis
- Biliary stricture
- Cancer of the common bile duct
- Cholestatic liver disease
- Cirrhosis
- Duodenal ulcer
- Gastic ulcer
- Pancreatic cancer
Differentiating acute cholangitis from other causes of abdominal pain
The differential diagnosis of diseases presenting with abdominal pain, fever and jaundice are discussed below.
Abbreviations: RUQ= Right upper quadrant of the abdomen, LUQ= Left upper quadrant, LLQ= Left lower quadrant, RLQ= Right lower quadrant, LFT= Liver function test, SIRS= Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ERCP= Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, IV= Intravenous, N= Normal, AMA= Anti mitochondrial antibodies, LDH= Lactate dehydrogenase, GI= Gastrointestinal, CXR= Chest X ray, IgA= Immunoglobulin A, IgG= Immunoglobulin G, IgM= Immunoglobulin M, CT= Computed tomography, PMN= Polymorphonuclear cells, ESR= Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP= C-reactive protein, TS= Transferrin saturation, SF= Serum Ferritin, SMA= Superior mesenteric artery, SMV= Superior mesenteric vein, ECG= Electrocardiogram
