In a later stage of cholestasis ALT and bilirubin may be elevated due to liver damage as a secondary effect of cholestasis.

23.
Genetic mutations affecting hepatic bile salt transport molecules have also been found in patients with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis ( PFIC ).
24.
Septal fibrosis and pseudolobules, inflammatory infiltrates, signs of cholestasis, and reduced numbers of intrahepatic bile ducts progresses to live cirrhosis.
25.
Stauffer syndrome causes abnormal liver function tests, especially those that reflect the presence of cholestasis, i . e . abnormal bile flow.
26.
On the other hand, lipoprotein-X particles found in familial LCAT deficiency are identical to those in cholestasis regarding ultrastructure and biochemical composition.
27.
The corresponding protein in mice is essential for the development of B cells and red blood cells, and for the prevention of intrahepatic cholestasis.
28.
Liver biopsies typically show evidence of cholestasis ( including bile plugs and bile infarcts ), duct hypoplasia, hepatocellular injury, and Zone 3 fibrosis.
29.
Often testing will be done to exclude more common conditions that present in a similar fashion, including intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and autoimmune hepatitis.
30.
Mutations in the HSD3B7 gene are associated with a congenital bile acid synthesis defect which leads to neonatal cholestasis, a form of progressive liver disease.
