-==Description==
+==Introduction==
 '''Lymphocytic cholangitis''' is a slowly progressive chronic disease characterised by infiltration of the portal areas of the liver with inflammatory cells, mostly [[Lymphocytes - Introduction|lymphocytes]] and [[B cell differentiation#Plasma cells|plasma cells]].  Bile duct hypertrophy and [[Liver Fibrosis|fibrosis]] are present.  However, lymphocytic cholangitis does not progress to biliary [[Cirrhosis|cirrhosis]].  An immune-mediated aetiology has been postulated but this has not been substantiated to date.  It is rarely associated with [[Pancreatitis|pancreatitis]], compared to [[Cholangitis, Neutrophilic]]

 Poor due to the waxing and waning feature of this disease.  In cats, this disease does not usually progress to end-stage cirrhosis and therefore it does not usually result in death, which is in contrast to dogs.

-Some cats in the UK are polyphagic and are frequently presented with ascites and/or jaundice. Many show hepatomegaly and some have generalised lymphadenopathy. Possible sequel is chronic biliary cirrhosis and ascites. Due to the likelihood of liver being affected too, [[Hepatic encephalopathy|hepatic encephalopathy]] and bleeding disorders may occur.
