No: I don't think there is any ethnicity affected more or less by cholestatic liver disease. Cholestatic liver disease is not a disease in and of itself but rather a general term for a # of diseases that present with bile retention (cholestasis). A more valid question would be to look at the individual diseases that present with bile retention.
