What Is Cholestasis?
9. Is Cholestasis Dangerous?
While cholestasis can make someone feel very ill and need major treatment to fully recover, it is not a major cause of death in most adults. However, the underlying problem can be very dangerous and possibly fatal, such as pancreatic cancer, sepsis, and liver disease.
This condition is especially concerning for women who are pregnant since it can cause several complications. In some cases, it can lead to preterm delivery or a stillbirth. Infants with the condition need monitoring as weight loss and sickness can occur.
