What is the Origin of Cholestatic Hepatitis?

The name is derived from the Greek words 'cholē' (bile), 'stasis' (standing still), and 'hēpar' (liver) plus '-itis' (inflammation). The combined term precisely describes the pathology: liver inflammation coupled with bile flow obstruction, a condition recognized clinically for centuries but better understood with modern hepatology and toxicology.

What is the Mechanism of Cholestatic Hepatitis?

The mechanism often involves direct hepatocyte damage and disruption of the bile canaliculi, the small ducts that collect bile within the liver parenchyma. In the context of hormonal health, certain exogenous or endogenous steroids can interfere with the transporter proteins responsible for bile salt excretion, leading to intrahepatic cholestasis and subsequent inflammatory damage to the hepatic architecture.

Cholestatic Hepatitis

Meaning

A distinct clinical syndrome characterized by simultaneous inflammation of the liver (hepatitis) and impaired bile flow (cholestasis), leading to the accumulation of bilirubin and bile acids in the bloodstream. This condition is a serious hepatic pathology that can result from various etiologies, including drug-induced liver injury or viral infection. Monitoring liver function tests is essential for timely diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.
