Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholangitis is not an acute infection of the gallbladder, but rather an acute infection of the bile ducts, which connect the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. It is often caused by a blockage in the ducts, such as a gallstone or tumor. Symptoms include fever, jaundice, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting. Treatment may involve antibiotics, removal of the blockage, and in severe cases, surgery.
