What medicine should I take for bile duct inflammation?

When the bile duct is inflamed, it can be treated with certain antibiotics. Of course, the effect of such treatment is generally limited. If the condition is more serious, surgery is required. For acute cholangitis, surgery can avoid bile duct obstruction and gradually reduce the pressure in the bile duct. For chronic patients, it can ensure smooth bile duct drainage, control infection, avoid acute attacks, etc.

What medicine should I take for bile duct inflammation?

1. Chronic cholangitis: Use surgery to remove obstructive factors and ensure smooth bile duct drainage. In the case of an acute attack, control the infection first and then perform surgery after the condition stabilizes. The bile duct is opened to remove stones or ascarids, and a T-tube is used for drainage. If there is stenosis of the sphincter of Oddi, sphincterostomy can be performed. If there is obstruction of the lower end of the common bile duct, biliary intestinal drainage techniques such as common bile duct duodenal anastomosis or bile duct Roux-y jejunostomy can be performed. To eliminate the infection focus, the gallbladder should be removed. For patients with intrahepatic bile duct stenosis, it is necessary to thoroughly understand its pathological changes and eliminate the cause of its obstruction. For example, the stricture of the intrahepatic bile duct is incised, and the intrahepatic stones are removed, and then a Roux-y choledochojejunostomy is performed. Reflux cholangitis is prone to occur after sphincter of Oddi plasty and choledochoduodenostomy.
