| | Many patients with chronic cholestasis have an asthmalike syndrome, which may be quite severe and unresponsive to conventional asthma therapy. | | | Wheezing disappears with effective therapy of cholestasis, which suggests that it is a secondary event. | | | Typical of obstructive cholestasis is bile plugging of the interlobular bile ducts, portal expansion, and bile duct proliferation in association with centrilobular cholate injury. |

| | Cholestasis is the medical term used to describe what happens when bile production by the liver and its flow to the intestine is interrupted for any reason. | | | They are of no clinical value to mother or baby and for a woman with obstetric cholestasis, (as opposed to the itching more directly related to skin changes during pregnancy) they may delay more appropriate management or treatment. | | | High.values should prompt further investigations as well as regular monitoring of the baby. |

| | Cholestasis |
| | Cholestasis is a condition caused by rapidly developing (acute) or long-term (chronic) interruption in the excretion of bile (a digestive fluid that helps the body process fat). | | | Extrahepatic cholestasis is most often caused by a stone obstructing the passage through which bile travels from the gallbladder to the small intestine (common bile duct) or by pancreatic cancer. | | | Extrahepatic cholestasis can be caused by conditions such as tumors and gallstones that block the flow of bile from the gallbladder to the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). |

| | There are two primary objectives in treating cholestasis of pregnancy: alleviating the pruritis and ensuring that the child is born safely. | | | When cholestasis of pregnancy was first described, it was viewed as a benign condition. | | | It is hoped, however, that they learn from the sad experience of other physicians who have published their data that the condition indeed poses serious risks and should be treated accordingly. |

| | Ultrastructural canalicular changes, however, have been described as early as 60 minutes after reperfusion, with increases in the mean area and perimeter of the canaliculus and with marked loss in the number of bile microvilli (2). | | | The different mechanisms involved in each process lead to a common pathway in which bile flow is impaired and cholestasis develops. | | | The color, viscosity and the amount of bile change in correlation with the degree of cellular injury and cholestasis. |

| | Sufficient numbers of homogeneous studies existed to permit a meta-analysis of the efficacy of SAMe for treatment of four conditions: depression versus placebo and active (pharmacological) therapy, osteoarthritis versus placebo and active (pharmacological) therapy, cholestasis of pregnancy versus placebo and active therapy, and intrahepatic cholestasis associated with liver disease versus placebo. | | | Additional smaller clinical trials of an exploratory nature should be conducted to investigate uses of SAMe to decrease the latency of effectiveness of conventional antidepressants and to treat of postpartum depression. | | | Empirical evidence of the efficacy of SAMe for the treatment of these three conditions would be helpful to health care providers who manage them and would be useful in identifying areas for future research. |
