Шаблон:Infobox medical condition (new)

Acholia is pallor of the faeces, which lack their normal brown colour, as a result of impaired bile secretion into the bowel.[1] It can also be referred to as hypocholia.[2] Acholia is a sign pointing to reduced or lacking flow of conjugated bilirubin into the bowel, as a result of a problem in the liver itself or in the biliary tree.[3]

Etymology

Ancient Greek: a + chole (without bile).

Cause

A condition in which little or no bile is secreted or the flow of bile into the digestive tract is obstructed. The acholia is a sign of many diseases, such as hepatitis. Acholia causes the color of feces to fade.[3]
