@digambar Cholestasis is a liver disease. It occurs when the flow of bile from your liver is reduced or blocked. Bile is fluid produced by your liver that aids in the digestion of food, especially fats. When bile flow is altered, it can lead to a buildup of bilirubin. Bilirubin is a pigment produced by your liver and excreted from your body via bile. The first step to treating cholestasis is to treat the underlying cause. For example, if it’s determined that medication is causing the condition, your doctor may recommend a different drug. If an obstruction like gallstones or a tumor is causing the backup of bile, your doctor may recommend surgery. Early treatment can improve your chances for a full recovery.
