==Histopathology==
Under a [[microscope]], the individual hepatocytes will have a brownish-green stippled appearance within the [[cytoplasm]], representing bile that cannot get out of the cell.  Canalicular bile plugs between individual hepatocytes or within bile ducts may also be seen, representing bile that has been excreted from the hepatocytes but cannot go any further due to the obstruction.  When these plugs occur within the bile duct, sufficient pressure (caused by bile accumulation) can cause them to rupture, spilling bile into the surrounding [[biological tissue|tissue]], causing hepatic [[necrosis]].  These areas are known as bile lakes, and are typically seen only with extra-hepatic obstruction.
 
==Symptoms==
* Pale stools, 
* dark urine,
* itchiness ([[pruritus]]) and
* [[jaundice]]. 
 
[[Bile]] is secreted by the liver to aid in the [[digestion]] of [[fats]].  Drugs such as [[gold salts]],[[nitrofurantoin]], [[anabolic steroids]], chlorpromazine, prochlorperazine, sulindac, cimetidine, [[erythromycin]], can cause cholestasis and may result in damage to the [[liver]].
