What to do if you have cholestatic jaundice

Cholestatic jaundice requires the cessation of fatty food intake and treatment with medications such as ursodeoxycholic acid and polyenylphosphatidylcholine. Cholestatic jaundice is mainly caused by excessive bile secretion and poor drainage, which leads to bile entering the body’s bloodstream. This disease is associated with cholecystitis, gallstones, and common bile duct stenosis. You should stop eating fatty foods, such as fatty meat, chicken fried steak and chicken fillets, because fatty food intake can lead to excessive bile secretion. Instead, you should focus on foods rich in dietary fiber, which not only promote the excretion of fatty foods, but also do not stimulate bile secretion. People with severe symptoms should be treated with medication along with dietary adjustments. Some people with cholestatic jaundice, which is caused by gallstone disease, have relatively normal gallbladder contractility and can be treated with ursodeoxycholic acid. Ursodeoxycholic acid has a litholytic effect that promotes the elimination of relatively small stones and improves biliary stasis. Polyenyl phosphatidylcholine is a common hepatoprotective drug. This drug can accelerate the repair and regeneration of liver cells, promote the recovery of liver function, and eliminate the seriousness of the liver, thus reducing the phenomenon of excessive bile secretion.
