Video Summary
Victor Navarro from Einstein Medical Center discusses Acute Cholestatic Injury, covering pathophysiology, presentation, and management. Acute cholestasis involves impaired bile flow within the liver or bile ducts, manifesting with symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, and itching. Lab tests reflect cholestasis, with elevated alkaline phosphatase as a primary marker. Causes include drug reactions, bile duct obstruction, viral hepatitis, and alcohol use. Diagnosing cholestasis involves ultrasound to differentiate between intrahepatic and extrahepatic causes, followed by further imaging or procedures like ERCP if needed. Cases illustrate drug-induced cholestasis and choledocholithiasis, emphasizing timely intervention for acute cholangitis. Understanding these presentations and diagnostic pathways in acute cholestasis is crucial for effective management.
