Cholestasis
Featured resources
Cholestasis is a medical term that’s used to describe a slowing or stalling of bile flow out of the liver. Bile is a yellow-greenish fluid produced by the liver that helps to break down certain fatty molecules and proteins into smaller pieces during digestion. It also carries certain waste products from the liver into the intestines to be excreted in feces.
Cholestasis treatment options aim to restore the normal flow of the digestive fluid bile through the bile ducts, a series of tubes that carry the sticky yellow-greenish fluid out of the liver where it's made and to the small intestine.
