Published in: Abdominal radiology (New York) (2021)
Primary biliary cholangitis is a rare progressive chronic inflammation of the medium and small bile ducts that abdominal radiologists may encounter, particularly if working in a tertiary setting or at a transplant center. This brief review covers current thinking about the pathophysiology and presentation of the disease, as well as the current diagnostic criteria in use by hepatologists. Imaging strategies for diagnosis will be reviewed as well as current treatment strategies and the use of imaging in monitoring response to treatment, including image-guided elastography.
