Disease/Condition Glossary

Primary biliary cholangitis: Primary biliary cholangitis, also known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is an autoimmune disease caused by damage to bile ducts in the liver. Bile ducts are the small channels that carry the bile (digestive fluid) from the liver to the small intestine, where it breaks down fats and aids in its absorption. Biliary cirrhosis causes a build-up of bile in the liver, which leads to liver damage.
