[Cholestasis in adults. 2. Clinical signs and symptomatic treatment].
Cholestasis, a frequent occurrence in clinical practice, can be suspected when confronted to clinical signs (pruritus and jaundice) and/or increased blood level of alkaline phosphatases, gammaglutamyl transpeptidase and/or conjugated bilirubin. This short review will deal with the management of clinical manifestations and extrahepatic complications, whatever the cause of cholestasis. The management according to etiology will be dealt with in a separated chapter.
