Neonatal Cholestasis

Neonatal cholestasis is a condition in newborns where bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver, is unable to flow properly into the intestines. This can lead to a buildup of bile in the liver, causing jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) and other issues. It can be caused by various factors, including liver diseases, infections, or structural abnormalities. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications, such as liver damage. Managing neonatal cholestasis often involves identifying the underlying cause and may require medical intervention or monitoring.
