[Cholangitis and biliary sepsis: problem and ways of solution].
The distinctions and interrelationship were established between acute cholangitis and biliary sepsis. Patients with hyperbilirubinemia were divided into four groups according to the developed criteria of inclusion and of using a new strategy of treatment for each group. It determined the result of treatment, i.e. resulted in lower lethality, shorter stay at hospital, less cost of treatment. One of the main criteria for the inclusion into a certain group was considered to be the index of blood plasma procalcitonin.
