why use antibacterials for choledocholithi. treatment?
Question:
Answers:
Choledocholithiasis, simply means gallstone in bile ducts. Due to obstuction of bile duct, it will be soonly complicated by inflammation and ascending infection (acute cholangitis). Acute cholangitis is a medical emergency requiring prompt broad-spectrum antibacterials treatment and decompression either endoscopically (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatiogram ERCP) or surgically. Without prompt intravenous broad-spectrum antibacterials, patients will developed sepsis, shock, and even death!
Other Answers:
What I gathered from doing a search was that sometimes inflammation of the bile duct is caused by bacteria, so taking the antibacterial would control and prevent the inflammation, and thus avoiding gall stones?
