It’s the Small Things - Cholangitis

MEDGEEKS
About this episode

In this episode, we explore cholangitis—an often overlooked yet critical inflammatory condition affecting the bile ducts. These tiny tubes transport bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. We break down the complexities of cholangitis into easy-to-understand terms, examining its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.

Our discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing cholangitis's early signs. Early detection and intervention are crucial in preventing serious complications. We also address the emotional and physical challenges faced by individuals living with this condition, providing resources for support and information.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal as we illuminate the small but significant impact cholangitis can have on one's life.
