Overview

There is no established system for the classification of Primary biliary cirrhosis. However, it can be classified into four stages depending on the histology of the disease.

Classification

There is no established system for the classification of primary biliary cirrhosis. However, it can be classified into four stages according to histological classification of Ludwig. According to Ludwig classification:

Stage 1=

Stage 1 is characterized by portal inflammation.

Stage 2=

Extension of inflammation beyond portal tracts into surrounding parenchyma with or without ductal loss.

Stage 3

There is presence of fibrous septa linking adjacent portal tracts.

Stage 4

Stage 4 is characterized by cirrhosis.
