Extrahepatic means outside the liver
Extrahepatic cholestasis can be caused by conditions such as tumors and gallstones that block the flow of bile from the gallbladder
Outside the liver
The biliary tree is a system of thin-walled tubes that transport bile from the liver to the small intestine. It consists of the intrahepatic bile ducts within the liver, the extrahepatic bile ducts (common hepatic duct, common bile duct, and cystic duct), and the gallbladder. The main function of the biliary tree is to store and transport bile produced by the liver for the digestion of fats.

Primary biliary cirrhosis is the gradual destruction of the biliary system for unknown reasons.
biliary apparatus collects bile from live and store it in gall bladder
Increased levels of bilirubin in the urine may be due to: * Biliary strictures * Cirrhosis * Gallstones in the biliary tract * Hepatitis with associated biliary obstruction * Surgical trauma affecting the biliary tract * Tumors of the liver or gall bladder
GGT and ALP (alkaline phosphatase....mostly in biliary cells but some in hepatocytes)...
Of bile or of the gallbladder and bile ducts that transport bile and make up the biliary system or tract
