Marked elevation of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase during asymptomatic cholangitis associated with calcific pancreatitis-induced common bile duct stricture.

We wish to present the unusual association of a relatively asymptomatic cholangitis due to common bile duct (CBD) stricture induced by calcific pancreatitis.
