Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with primary biliary cirrhosis. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of primary biliary cirrhosis which include hepatocellular carcinoma, cirrhosis, and varices.
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with primary biliary cirrhosis. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of primary biliary cirrhosis which include hepatocellular carcinoma, cirrhosis, and varices.
- Findings on CT scan suggestive of early stage disease with complications include:[1][2]
- Enlarged or normal size liver
- Smooth contour liver
- Minor hepatic atrophy
- Lace like hepatic fibrosis
- Regenerative hepatic nodules
- Varices
- Ascites
- Lymphadenopathy Findings on CT scan suggestive of late stage primary biliary cirrhosis with complications include:[2]
- Small heterogeneously attenuating liver
- Varices
- Splenomegaly
- Lymphadenopathy
