Overview
Primary biliary cirrhosis is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. However, common risk factors in the development of primary biliary cirrhosis may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and microbial.[1][2]
Risk Factors
- The most potent risk factor in the development of primary biliary cirrhosis is positive family history. Other risk factors include age (30-60 years), female sex, infections and environmental toxins.[1][2]
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of Primary biliary cirrhosis may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and microbial.
- Common risk factors in the development of primary biliary cirrhosis include:
- Age: 30-60 years of age at highest risk
- Sex: Female sex is at higher risk
- Geographic distribution: Increased risk in North America and northern Europe.
- Genetic predisposition: HLA-DRB1*0801 haplotype
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of primary biliary cirrhosis include:
- Infections
- Cigarette smoking
- Environmental toxins
