In cholestasis, the movement of bile a digestive fluid which is produced by the liver is impaired at somewhere between the liver cells which produce bile and the first segment of the small intestine called duodenum. When bile is stopped from flowing, the pigment bilirubin which is a waste product formed due to breaking down of old or damaged red blood cells escapes into the bloodstream and accumulates.
