| cholestasis |
An abnormality of the bile ducts in which inflammation is present. The bile ducts are blocked commonly by gallstones. However, inflammation of the microscopic bile ducts within the liver itself can also cause cholestasis. The primary test for this condition is a liver panel. This is a simple blood test that shows the alkaline phosphatase to be elevated.
