The flow of bile through the body is reduced.
This decrease in bile flow leads to a buildup of bile in the liver and blood, causing an increase in bile acids throughout the body.
When bile flow from the liver is reduced, it causes liver damage.

Bile Acid Buildup
Normal Bile Flow
Normally, bile is made in the liver and then moves to the gallbladder for storage.
Almost all of the bile and bile acids made by the liver are recycled.
Bile acids that are not recycled in the intestine are removed from the body in feces.
