Primary biliary cholangitis. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), also known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease of the liver. It results from a slow, progressive destruction of the small bile ducts of the liver, causing bile and other toxins to build up in the liver, a condition called cholestasis.
PBC is a relatively rare disease, affecting up to 1 in 3â4,000 people. It is much more common in women, with a sex ratio of at least 9:1 female to male. The condition has been recognised since at least 1851 and was named primary biliary cirrhosis in 1949. Because cirrhosis is a feature only of advanced disease, a change of its name to primary biliary cholangitis was proposed by patient advocacy groups in 2014.
