| Biochemical Prediction of Acute Cholangitis and Symptomatic Bile Duct Stones by Gallstone Hepatitis | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| We have adopted the clinical concept of gallstone hepatitis indicated by marked serum transaminase elevation due to an acute inflammatory liver cell necrosis in the early stages of gallstone impaction in the bile duct as clinical and biochemical criteria for identifying high-risk patients for acute cholangitis or bile duct stones causing symptoms (symptomatic bile duct stones, SBDS). | |||||||||||||
