Correlation between disappearance of the intrahepatic bile ducts and histologic changes in the liver in primary biliary cirrhosis. 1981

Y Nakanuma, and H Miyamura, and G Ohta, and K Kobayashi, and Y Kato, and N Hattori

Statistical investigations indicate that disappearance of bile ducts, estimated by a histometric method, was more extensive in symptomatic than in asymptomatic patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. The extent and degree of intrahepatic bile duct disappearance in PBC is related to the degree of copper granule deposition in the hepatocytes, the degree of atypical ductular proliferations and the fibrous septa formation. Bile plug formation and chemically determined copper content are not so well related to the bile duct disappearance, while periportal lymphoid cell infiltration is not related to the degree or extent of bile duct disappearance at all.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008105 Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.
