when does FEVER come into picture? I don't get the meaning of ASCENDING cholangitis in it? Isn't primary sclerosing cholangitis an INTRAhepatic cholaestasis? So how ascending cholangitis happens?



  #2

prim sclerosing cholangitis is intra and extrahepatic inflammatory strictures of the bile ducts.

  #3

these two terms are completely different.PSC is an auto immune disease that is usually associated with ulcerative colitis and it involves intra and extra hepatic ducts.assending chollangitis is infectious.when there is incomplete obstruction of common bile duct for example because of a stone infection will acure and the patient will come with the triad:fever,ruq pain,jaundice
i hope that i could help
