Cholangitis refers to the inflammation of the bile duct system. The bile duct system carries bile from your liver and gall bladder to the digestive tract. This fluid helps in the digestion of food and absorption of fats. When the bile ducts get obstructed or inflamed, bile flows back into the liver, which can cause liver damage and other problems. For this reason, the American Liver Foundation classifies cholangitis as a type of liver disease. Cholangitis can be treated with the help of medications and surgery.
