Initial impression • Obstructive biliary disease, secondary to calculous cholecystitis, to consider choledocholithiasis, ascending cholangitis
Differential diagnoses • Gallstone pancreatitis
Diagnostic evaluation • CBC • SGPT, SGOT • ALP • Bilirubin (direct, indirect, total) • Prothrombin time • APTT • Amylase • Lipase • Ultrasound • Serum electrolytes (Na, K, Cl) • Urinalysis
LGBP Ultrasound • Gallstone with cholecystitis • Dilated common bile duct
Acute cholangitis • One of the main complications of choledochal stones • Ascending bacterial infection due to partial of complete obstruction of the bile ducts • Both bacterial contamination and biliary obstruction are requisites for its development • E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus faecalis, Enterobacter, Bacteroides fragilis
Clinical presentation • Mild, intermittent and self-limited to fulminant, potentially life-threatening septicemia • Most common: Charcot’s triad (2/3) • Fever • Epigastric/ RUQ pain • Jaundice • Reynold’s pentad • Septic shock • Mental status changes • On abdominal examination, the findings are indistinguishable from those of acute cholecystitis
