Anemia associated with autoimmune liver disease in a middle-aged female
(2019)Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) can coexist as a variant syndrome of autoimmune liver disease. The case is reported of a 49-year-old woman with anemia and ascites, in whom laboratory tests ... -
The challenges of primary biliary cholangitis: What is new and what needs to be done
(2019)Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an uncommon, chronic, cholangiopathy of autoimmune origin and unknown etiology characterized by positive anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies (AMA), female preponderance and progression ... -
Early primary biliary cirrhosis: A new association with erythema nodosum of unknown origin
(2010)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is associated with immune-mediated dermatologic disorders. The association of PBC with erythema nodosum (EN) seems rare. We report two females (42 and 44 years old) with low-grade fever, ... -
Effects of Age and Sex of Response to Ursodeoxycholic Acid and Transplant-free Survival in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis
(2019)Background & Aims: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) predominantly affects middle-aged women; there are few data on disease phenotypes and outcomes of PBC in men and younger patients. We investigated whether differences ... -
Factors Associated With Progression and Outcomes of Early Stage Primary Biliary Cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Patients usually receive a diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) at an early stage, based on biochemical analyses. We investigated the proportion of patients who progress to moderate or advanced ... -
Geoepidemiology, clinical manifestations and outcome of primary biliary cholangitis in Greece
(2017)Background & aims Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a disease with rising prevalence and considerable geographical variation. To describe the prevalence, spatial and time distribution, baseline characteristics, response ... -
Goals of Treatment for Improved Survival in Primary Biliary Cholangitis: Treatment Target Should Be Bilirubin within the Normal Range and Normalization of Alkaline Phosphatase
(2020)INTRODUCTION:In primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are widely established as independent predictors of prognosis. Current treatment goals do not aim for normalization of surrogate ... -
Increased cholestatic enzymes in two patients with long-term history of ulcerative colitis: Consider primary biliary cholangitis not always primary sclerosing cholangitis
(2017)Several hepatobiliary disorders have been reported in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) being the most specific. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary ... -
Liver Expression of Sulphotransferase 2A1 Enzyme Is Impaired in Patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: Lack of the Response to Enhanced Expression of PXR
(2015)Background/Aim. Sulphotransferase 2A1 (SULT2A1) exerts hepatoprotective effects. Transcription of SULT2A1 gene is induced by pregnane-X-receptor (PXR) and can be repressed by miR-378a-5p. We studied the PXR/SULT2A1 axis ... -
Major hepatic complications in ursodeoxycholic acid-treated patients with primary biliary cholangitis: Risk factors and time trends in incidence and outcome
(2018)Objectives: In this era of near universal ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), progression to cirrhosis still occurs in an important proportion of patients. The aim of this study was ... -
Milder disease stage in patients with primary biliary cholangitis over a 44-year period: A changing natural history
(2018)Changes over time in the presenting features and clinical course of patients with primary biliary cholangitis are poorly described. We sought to describe temporal trends in patient and disease characteristics over a 44-year ... -
The Necessity for Routine Administration of Ursodeoxycholic Acid After Bariatric Surgery
(2020)[No abstract available] -
Primary biliary cirrhosis associated with systemic sclerosis: Diagnostic and clinical challenges
(2011)Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) often have concurrent limited systemic sclerosis (SSc). Conversely, up to one-fourth of SSc patients are positive for PBC-specific antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). The ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis presented as peripheral eosinophilia in symptomatic women with or without elevated alkaline phosphatase
(2004)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by the destruction of biliary epithelial cells, presumably by autoimmune mechanism(s). Although lymphocytes play a pivotal role in the ... -
Ursodeoxycholic Acid in the Prevention of Gallstone Formation After Bariatric Surgery: an Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2017)We aim to review the available literature on obese patients treated with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in order to prevent gallstone formation after bariatric surgery. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, ...
