[Causes and types of cholestasis from a biopsy viewpoint].

G Roschlau

Abstract

In a total number of 1,400 internal biopsies within a year we found 186 (14%) cases of cholestasis. The most of them were caused by virus hepatitis (93), followed by alcoholic liver injury in all three stages (39) and drug induced cholestasis (19). The special bioptical problems of these diseases were discussed. Most important are adverse reactions to contraceptive, antirheumatic, antihypertensive and antikonvulsive agents.
