Better question - how are you a medical student if you're asking this?why intermittent jaundice happens in ascending cholangitis?
i think you accidentally a word
Ascending cholangitis results in the malfunction of the sphincter of Oddi.
Sphincter of Oddi is involved with bilirubin (and bile) release into the duodenum.
Because of this decreased function, hyperbilirubinemia results.
Jaundice occurs.
