-
periportal iron deposition
- heavy in periportal tracts, lighter toward central venule
- micronodular cirrhosis

- immunostain shows presence of alpha-1 antitrypsin
-
PBC stages
- stage 1: duct membrane lesion, granulomatous reaction
- jigsaw liver indicates biliary cirrhosis
-
PSC pathology
- onion skin fibrosis

- doesn't atrophy because has a different outflow tract
-
pathology

cholangiocarcinoma
- arises from biliary epithelim
- type of adenocarcinoma
- hilar tumor (klatskin)
- angiosarcoma
- cystic diseases of liver
-
biliary tract disease
-
primary biliary cirrhosis
- immune-mediated attack on pyruvate dehydrogenase of bile duct cells
- chronic progressive
- destruction of bile duct basement membrane
- lymphocytic infiltration
- middle-aged women
- AMA+
- increased GGT and bilirubin
