Other Diagnostic Studies
Liver Biopsy
Primary biliary cirrhosis is characterized by interlobular bile duct destruction. Histopathologic findings of primary biliary cirrhosis include:[1]
- Inflammation of the bile ducts, characterized by intraepithelial lymphocytes, and
- Periductal epithelioid granulomata.
A liver biopsy is necessary to determine the stage of disease.
ERCP
Abdominal ultrasound or a CT scan is usually performed to rule out blockage to the bile ducts. Previously most suspected sufferers underwent a liver biopsy, and - if uncertainty remained - endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP, an endoscopic investigation of the bile duct).
