Overview
The mainstay of treatment for primary primarybiliary cirrhosis is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either decompensated cirrhosis and endstage liver failure who do not show any improvement with medical therapy.
Indications
Indications for liver transplantation include:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Decompensated cirrhosis
- Endstage liver failure
- Indications specific to endstage liver failure include:
- Refractory ascites
- Recurrent spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
- Recurrent variceal hemorrhage
- Hepatic encephalopathy
- Hepatorenal syndrome type I
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Indications specific to primary biliary cirrhosis include:
Surgery
- The mainstay of treatment for primarybiliary cirrhosis is medical therapy. Liver transplantation is usually reserved for patients with either:[2][6][7][8][9]
- Decompensated cirrhosis
- Endstage liver failure
- Liver transplantation is considered to be the only definitive treatment for PBC with decompensated cirrhosis and endstage liver failure.
- The 5 year survival rate following liver transplantation is up to 85%, which is the highest in any liver disease.
- "Model for end-stage liver disease” (MELD) score is used to govern priority for liver transplantation.[10]
- The score range between 6 and 40 and is calculated using a logarithmic assessment of three objective and reproducible variables including:
- Total serum bilirubin
- Creatinine concentrations
- International normalized ratio
- As per European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) guidelines the MELD score of over 12 should be evaluated for potential liver transplantation in PBC.
Recurrence
- The recurrence rates of primary biliary cirrhosis following liver transplantation are:[1][11][12][13][14]
- About 20% after 5 years
- About 30% at 10 years
- About 40% at 15 years
