Descripción
Sumario:Cholangiopathies are chronic diseases that affect the bile ducts, comprising a heterogeneous group of progressive and potentially fatal entities. The diagnosis of these diseases is a great challenge for radiologists because of the overlapping of their clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings. Nevertheless, identifying the precise etiology is crucial, given that the therapeutic options are distinct and influence the prognosis of the patient. The purpose of this review article is to discuss some of the non-neoplastic causes of cholangiopathies and to provide a useful diagnostic algorithm.
