Clarification:
Cholangitis; I'm quite liberally with my definition in this video; chloangitis is inflammation of the common bile duct, a specific duct connecting the hepatic duct, cystic duct and opening into the duodenum. It is often called 'ascending cholangitis' due to the infection that subsequently arises from blockages. Doctors often diagnose it with Charcot's Triad, of jaundice, fever and right upper quadrant pain.
Pancreatitis; there are multiple causes of pancreatitis, including alcohol, as this video was focusing on gallstone complications I did not detail them.
