'''Cholemia''' is a condition caused by the presence of excess [[bile]] in the blood. Its symptoms can include [[somnolence]] (drowsiness), yellow tinge to skin and whites of eyes, fatigue, nausea and, in extreme cases, [[coma]]. It is often an early sign of [[liver disease]].<ref>{{cite book |first=George S. |last=Weger |title=The Genesis and Control of Disease |year=1996 |publisher=[[Kessinger Publishing Company]] |isbn=978-1-56459-979-7 |page=525 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CDyqy80Vr4QC&pg=PA525}}</ref>

==Cause==
{{R to section}}
Cholemia is caused by a blood disorder caused by [[genetics|genetic]] factors. As a result of obstruction of bile duct, buildup of bile acids ([[Taurocholic acid|taurocholic]] and [[Glycocholic acid|glycocholic acids]]) affects the central nervous system, irritation of the [[vagus nerve]] causing [[Arrhythmia|arrhythmias]], direct tissue damage, [[hypercholesterolemia]] and [[Hyperbilirubinemia|hyperbillirubinemia]].{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

==Diagnosis==
There is no specific diagnostic test for this condition. It is usually detected by [[colonoscopy]]. It is caused by a disease of the liver. It is most commonly seen in patients with [[hepatitis b]]. It's confirmed by the diagnosis as it shows a higher level of bilirubin ( <3&nbsp;mg/dl ) but it is necessary to rule out liver diseases if the diagnosis is uncertain.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gromashevskaia |first1=L.

==Treatment==
Treatment aims to prevent the fast breakdown of [[Red blood cell|red blood cells]] causing high bile in blood. Cholemia is currently untreatable.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}
