Biliary Cholangitis treatment in Mérida

Biliary cholangitis is an inflammation of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the intestine. It can be due to an obstruction, an infection, or a process in which the immune system itself affects those ducts progressively.

Common symptoms: yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes, itching, fatigue, pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, and, in some cases, fever.

When to see the doctor? If jaundice, abdominal pain with fever, or unusual and persistent tiredness appears, an evaluation without delay is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the central professional for studying the liver and bile ducts, with involvement of the endoscopist or general surgeon depending on the case. Seeing a doctor in time allows the cause to be clarified and follow-up to be guided.
