is biliary cirrhosis the same as PBC? I don’t think so? can anyone confirm
Per amboss, sounds like it. Mayo agrees: “Primary biliary cholangitis, previously called primary biliary cirrhosis” Primary biliary cholangitis - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
AMBOSS just says biliary cirrhosis, cant see mention of PBC https://next.amboss.com/us/article/L40wPT?q=cystic%20fibrosis
can anyone also weigh in? @herstein.jacob @Cameron @shmuelsash @Sameem @StanG
It’s NOT the same! PBC is more of an autoimmune condition. Biliary cirrhosis due to CF is due to lack of water in bile thus hindering the process of bile excretion causing stagnation and thus damage.
Agree with @Sameem - reject
