Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a disease in which a rapid deterioration of liver function occurs in patients with chronic liver disease, and is usually associated with a precipitating event. We present the case of a boy with autoimmune hepatitis/primary sclerosing cholangitis/ulcerative
A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the effect of treatment with prednisolone or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on the survival times of 26 cats with lymphocytic cholangitis, and to determine prognostic factors. Most affected cats were males (76.9%, P=0.006) and a breed predisposition for
Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is usually associated with complications such as recurrent cholangitis, manifested as abdominal pain, vomiting, and jaundice. If cholangitis cannot be controlled by conservative treatment, a good therapeutic effect can be obtained through percutaneous biliary
