About 90% of patients with acute cholangitis respond to antibiotics and other supportive treatment within 24 to 48 hours
Definitive diagnosis involves (1) a history of biliary disease, (2) the clinical manifestations, (3 In the era before effective biliary drainage procedures (and more potent antibiotic agents) became available, the mortality of acute cholangitis approached 100% with conservative treatment only (by now declined to 2

The choice of antibiotics and duration of treatment varies considerably between centres
Limited studies of the response of cholangiohepatitis cases to antibiotic treatment suggest that survival of cats with acute and chronic cholangiohepatitis is similar

It has been benchmarked against national guidelines to provide a detailed guidance of clinical management of acute cholangitis in line with best practice guidelines
That being said, there are obviously important differences between them
Options include: Ursodeoxycholic acid
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who presented with mild to moderate acute cholangitis due to Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with intra-abdominal infection were prepared by an Expert Panel of the Surgical Infection Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America
Antibiotic treatment should be started immediately in patients with obstructive, stone-related acute cholangitis
Cholangitis is a GI emergency requiring prompt recognition and treatment
Cholangitis treatment and management Most patients with acute cholangitis respond to antibiotic therapy but endoscopic biliary drainage is ultimately required to treat the underlying obstruction
It tends to occur if the bile duct is already partially obstructed by gallstones
These guidelines are based on the best published evidence and a consensus conference of international experts in the field
OR
Many patients with acute cholangitis respond to antibiotic therapy; however, patients with severe or toxic cholangitis may not respond and may require emergency biliary drainage
Diagnosis is commonly made by the presence of clinical features, laboratory tests, and imaging studies
25,26 This is due to high success rates, Several previous studies have investigated shorter treatment durations for acute cholangitis
Promising results have been reported for the role of antibiotic treatment in management of AC and PSC; however, immunosuppressive drugs have also rendered clinical responses in IAC
The choice of antibiotics should reflect local resistance patterns and avoid the overuse of broad-spectrum agents
Antimicrobial therapy is a mainstay of the management for patients with acute cholangitis and/or cholecystitis
Acute cholangitis is a bacterial infection superimposed on an obstruction of the biliary tree most commonly from a gallstone, but it may be associated with neoplasm or stricture
40 Other Bacterial cholangitis is reported rarely in the dog, Nineteen dogs presented with an acute history (< 3 weeks) and 8 with chronic waxing and waning signs
Empirical findings have impacted the choice of treatment for adults with acute cholecystitis and cholangitis ( Paterson 2006 )

The treatment modalities include administration of intravenous fluid, antibiotics, and drainage of the bile duct
Therapy for patients with acute cholangitis consists of antibiotic treatment and biliary drainage

Prevailing guidelines recommend treatment according to severity
Ascending cholangitis, also known as acute cholangitis or simply cholangitis, is inflammation of the bile duct, usually caused by bacteria ascending from its junction with the duodenum (first part of the small intestine)
We compared short-course antimicrobial therapy (SCT, ≤7 days)
(2002) concluded that short-duration (≤3 days) antibiotic treatment for acute cholangitis following adequate biliary duct drainage and fever abatement, appeared to be sufficient
