Cholemia is a condition caused by the presence of excess bile in the blood. Its symptoms can include somnolence (drowsiness) and, in extreme cases, coma. It is often an early sign of liver disease.[1]
cause
Cholemia is caused by a blood disorder caused by genetic factors.
Diagnosis
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 mg/dl ) but it is necessary to rule out liver diseases if the diagnosis is uncertain.[2]
Treatment
Cholemia is currently untreatable.
