Machine-translated from the German article
Hepatosis (cholestatic, also cholostatic) is an allergic-toxic "swelling" of the bile ducts with bile stasis and resulting liver damage, usually accompanied by jaundice and intense itching, malaise and sometimes fever. Obesity of varying degrees often accompanies the condition. As a diagnostic hallmark, alkaline phosphatase (AP) and often also the bile pigment bilirubin are markedly elevated in the blood.
