Primary biliary cirrhosis?

DefinitionPrimary biliary cirrhosis is irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the bile ducts of the liver, which blocks the flow of bile. This obstruction damages liver cells and leads to scarring called cirrhosis.Alternative NamesPBCCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThe cause of inflamed bile ducts in the liver is not known. The disease more commonly affects middle-aged women.Long-term bile obstruction is believed to lead to liver cirrhosis. The disease may be associated with autoimmune disorders such as:Celiac diseaseHypothyroidismRaynaud's phenomenonSicca syndrome (dry eyes or mouth)SymptomsMore than half of patients have no symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Symptoms usually come on gradually and may include:Abdominal painEnlarged liverFatigueFatty deposits under the skinFatty stoolsItchingJaundiceSoft yellow spots on the eyelidSigns and testsTests for liver dysfunction:Serum albuminLiver function tests (serum alkaline phosphatase is most important)Prothrombin time (PT)Serum cholesterol and lipoproteinsTests for the disease:Elevated immunoglobulin M level in the bloodLiver biopsyAnti-mitochondrial antibodies (results are positive in about 95% of cases)TreatmentTherapy aims to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.Cholestyramine (or colestipol) may reduce the itching. Ursodeoxycholic acid may improve removal of bile from the bloodstream and improves the survival of patients with PBC after they have taken it for 4 years.Vitamin replacement therapy restores vitamins A, K, and D, which are lost in fatty stools. A calcium supplement should be added to prevent or treat soft, weakened bones (osteomalacia).Liver transplantbefore liver failure occurs may be successful.Expectations (prognosis)The outcome can vary. If the condition is not treated, most patients will need a liver transplant to prevent death from this condition. About a quarter of patients who've had the disease for 10 years will experience liver failure. Doctors can now use a statistical model to predict the best time to do the transplant.ComplicationsProgressive cirrhosis can lead to liver failure. Complications can include:BleedingDamage to the brain (encephalopathy)Fluid and electrolyte imbalanceKidney failureMalabsorptionMalnutritionSoft bones (osteomalacia)Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have:Abdominal swellingBlood in the stoolsConfusionJaundiceItching of the skin that does not go away and is not related to other causesVomiting bloodReferencesAfdhal NH.
