Fibros i leverparenkymet till följd av hinder i gallflödet (kolestas) i de inre och yttre gallgångarna. Vid primär biliär cirros ses förstörelse av små, inre gallgångar och försämrad gallutsöndring. Sekundär biliär cirros uppstår pga långvarig obstruktion av de större inre och yttre gallgångarna, av olika orsaker.
FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.
