Primary biliary cholangitis
International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01
Primary biliary cholangitis is characterised by progressive destruction and disappearance of the intralobular bile duct epithelial cells leading to cholestasis (high alkaline phosphatase and GGT {gamma glutamyl transferase}) and eventually liver cirrhosis and liver failure, generally associated with the presence of circulating antimitochondrial antibodies and an increase of serum IgM levels.
