title: Cholestatic liver diseases in adults.
abstract: Cholestatic liver diseases are a diverse group of disorders that are recognized by either increases in laboratory studies or the appearance of jaundice, fatigue, pruritus, and/or complications of cirrhosis. The etiologies for most forms of these diseases are unknown. In this paper, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are reviewed for select forms of cholestatic disorders and for the management of shared complications of cholestatic illness.
