Synopsis of primary biliary cirrhosis
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic and progressive liver disease. PBC starts at the small bile duct located in the liver - intrahepatic bile ducts - which are then destroyed in the course of the disease. As a consequence, since bile cannot be excreted into the gut, it is retained and accelerates liver damage.
