Brief Description

Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis is a rare, severe, and genetically inherited liver disease in which the flow of bile from the liver is blocked even though the bile ducts are open. Bile is produced in the liver and has the role of removing toxins and aids in breaking down fats in food. Due to the genetic defect, the liver cells are damaged and this prevents the body from absorbing fats and vitamins properly.
