Complications of Cholangitis

o Liver failure, hepatic abscesses, and microabscesses- chronic inflammation of the bile ducts throughout your liver can lead to tissue scarring (cirrhosis), liver cell death and, eventually, the inability of your liver to function properly.

o Bacteremia (25-40%); gram-negative sepsis

o Acute renal failure

o Repeated infections. If scarring of the bile ducts impairs the flow of bile out of the liver, you may experience frequent infections in the bile ducts.
