Fibrosing cholangitis fibrous cavernositis is a bile duct disease. The digestive liquid bile in your liver travels down the small intestine via bile ducts. Also, in this condition, the inflammation induces scarring within the bile ducts.
These scars thicken and shorten the ducts, leading to liver damage in the long run. Furthermore, inflammatory bowel illnesses, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, affect the majority of persons with fibrosing cholangitis fibrous cavernositis.
Moreover, the disease advances slowly in most persons with this disease. It can eventually result in liver failure, recurrent infections, and bile duct or liver cancers. Besides, the only known cure for advanced fibrosing cholangitis fibrous cavernositis is a liver transplant. However, the illness may return in the transplanted liver in a limited percentage of patients.
