Etiology of primary biliary cirrhosis: the search for the culprit.

Seminars in liver disease - 1 Aug 2005

Leung Patrick S C, Coppel Ross L, Gershwin M Eric

Abstract excerpt

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of high titer antimitochondrial autoantibodies (AMAs) and destruction of intrahepatic small bile ducts. Despite vigorous efforts in the characterization of autoantibodies and bile duct histopathology, the etiology of this disease is unclear. Although there is no correlation between the titer of AMAs and disease...
