Objective: Treatment of cholangitis is life-saving in patients with severe acute cholangitis (AC). We aimed to investigate usefulness of interleukin-33 (IL-33) to discriminate need of early or urgent biliary drainage in patients with acute cholangitis according to Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) grading system. Material and Methods: The study population consisted of a total of 79 subjects (48 AC and 31 healthy controls). Patients with AC were categorized based on TG18, and the IL-33 levels and laboratory markers were measured. Results: IL-33 level was significantly higher in the AC group (p <0.0001). ROC curve analysis was performed to distinguish patients with AC from normal healthy patients and to determine a cutoff value for IL-33. As a result of this analysis, the cut-off value for serum IL-33 was 0.59 pg / mL (sensitivity: 83.3% (95% CI: 69.8-92.5), specificity: 90.3% (95% CI: 74.2-98.0)) and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was found to be 0.902 (p <0.0001; 95% CI: 0.814-0.957). The median IL-33 level was significantly higher in patients who needed early/emergency biliary drainage (moderate or severe AC) compared to patients with mild AC (0.79 vs 0.60, p = 0.01). Conclusion: This study showed that IL-33 increased significantly in patients with moderate/severe AC who need immediate biliary drainage.
