Primary biliary cirrhosis as a collagen disease

Review

Primary biliary cirrhosis as a collagen disease

F Schaffner. Postgrad Med. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a disease of the small bile ducts with altered immunologic responsiveness often associated with various collagen diseases. All appear to be mediated by immune complex deposition. They probably are all different clinical manifestations of the same disease with different expressions determined by genetic and acquired factors. Therapy should be directed to the most immediate life-threatening problem.
