Cholestasis

Cholestasis is a condition characterised by the impaired flow of bile from the liver, leading to the accumulation of bile acids in the bloodstream. This can result in jaundice, pruritus, and potential liver damage, making it crucial for clinicians to identify and address the underlying cause, such as biliary obstruction or liver disease. One key complication of cholestasis is the development of fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, particularly vitamins A, D, E, and K.
