Liver Cirrhosis and Biliary Surgery

Southern Medical Journal, 1985
Operations on the biliary tract in cirrhotic patients are reported to have a higher than normal risk of operative morbidity and mortality. We reviewed 39 cases from two university-based hospitals over a five-year period. Each patient had biliary tract surgery and biopsy-proven cirrhosis.

The proportion of patients who undergo liver transplantation for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is steadily declining. This decline is partly from the increasing number of patients undergoing transplantation for other indications, but also perhaps because of the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on the natural history of this condition ...

[Primary biliary liver cirrhosis].

Acta medica Austriaca, 1983
Primary biliary cirrhosis, or chronic destructive nonsuppurative cholangitis, is a condition of chronic cholestasis, in which small intrahepatic bile ducts in the portal zones of the liver become progressively destroyed. The etiology of primary biliary cirrhosis is unknown, but the observation of (a) mitochondrial antibody, (b) elevated serum levels of

PROGNOSIS AFTER LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FOR PRIMARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS

Transplantation, 1989
Timing of transplantation for patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) requires identification not only of individual risk factors for the operation but estimation of survival with and without transplantation. To identify those risk factors and develop a prognostic model, 82 patients grafted for PBC since 1980 in the Birmingham and Cambridge/King ...

[Morphogenesis of primary biliary liver cirrhosis].

Arkhiv patologii, 1988
Light and electron microscopy were employed for evaluation of hepatic biopsies (9 puncture and 3 operative) to study morphologic changes in small bile ducts and lobular parenchyma in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Altogether 12 female patients with PBC stage I and II and aged 36-59 were examined.
