What is the definition or description of: cholestasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bile plugged: This means the flow of bile (chole) is held back (stasis). It can be from the liver cells not moving it (often from medications), or from the biliary tree being plugged by stone, tumor, scar, or perhaps something else.
