RESUMEN
La colangitis aguda es una patología descrita primera vez en 1877 por Jean Marie Charcot quien la describió como una “fiebre hepática”. Su presentación es variable, por lo que su diagnóstico no siempre es sencillo. Debido a esto se desarrollaron las Guías de Tokio las cuales ayudan a hacer más objetivos y globales los criterios diagnósticos, y a su vez dar criterios de severidad. El pilar de su manejo es la descompresión adecuada de la vía biliar, siendo la primera opción la colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica con esfinterotomía endoscópica, la cual no debe retrasarse en casos más severos.
ABSTRACT
The disease known as acute cholangitis was described for the first time in 1877 by Jean Marie Charcot as a “hepatic fever”. Its presentation varies, making its diagnostic difficult. Because of this the Tokyo Guidelines were developed. These guidelines help to make the diagnostic criteria more objective and global, giving at the same time severity criteria. The central stone of its management is the adequate bile drainage, being the first option the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography plus endoscopic sphincterotomy, which shouldn’t be delayed in the more severe cases.
