Not involving bile flow obstruction
Etymology
'non-cholestatic' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'cholestatic' which is derived from 'cholestasis', a condition involving bile flow obstruction.
'cholestasis' comes from the Greek word 'chole' meaning 'bile' and 'stasis' meaning 'standing still'.
Initially, 'cholestasis' referred to any condition where bile flow was obstructed, and 'non-cholestatic' was coined to describe conditions not involving this obstruction.
