PROGNOSIS OF cholangitis
Mortality of cholangitis is high, especially if left untreated and in people who have associated defects, the literature reports a mortality rate of about 7 to 40%.
The prognosis of cholangitis depends on several factors:
Epidemiological factors:
Age, sex, associated defects, obesity ....
The type of cholangitis:
In cholangitis initially uncomplicated, the mortality rate is significantly low.
If cholangitis complicated, the prognosis is often put into play and the mortality is very high.
The severity of the prognosis of cholangitis is made of multiple causes, they are either occurred in the immediate postoperative acute pancreatitis, bile peritonitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, or recurrence of septic phenomena, of kidney failure; but they can also be the result of actions taken or operating poorly local adverse operating conditions, or the cause of cholangitis itself as in the case of neoplasia.
The following factors are associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality:
- Female.
- Age> 50 years.
- Hypotension.
- Kidney failure.
- The abscess of the liver.
- Cirrhosis.
- The radiological cholangitis (post percutaneous cholangiography).
- Lack of response to antibiotics and medical treatment.
- Extension of time to decompress the bile ducts.
