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:
- Bile stasis
- Cholelithiasis
- Biliary strictures
- Bacterial infection
- ERCP
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of cholangitis include:
- Parasitic infections:
