What are the symptoms of cholangitis?

Patients with asymptomatic chronic cholangitis have no obvious symptoms, usually in the early stage or early stage of onset, and patients have no jaundice. Symptoms are divided into mild and severe: mild patients have discomfort, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, itchy skin, but no symptoms and signs of portal hypertension. Severe cases have obvious late symptoms of cirrhosis, such as jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, encephalopathy or esophageal variceal bleeding. Due to the existence of obstructive lesions, bile ducts often dilate, which can cause acute inflammatory attacks when bile duct obstruction becomes complete or bacterial infection becomes worse.
