Several times a week I want to share some of Dr. Jones' statements regarding PBC These are all taken from his book The Definitive Guide for Patients Who Have Primary Biliary Cholangitis. I think it's important to share some of the basics of this complicated disease. If you have any questions at all, ask - we'll talk about it.

I certainly encourage everyone to get a copy. There are 2 editions..... they are both available from Amazon.

Liver disease falls into 2 groups -

1. diseases of the liver cells themselves ( hepatocytes) and

2. diseases of the bile ducts (cholestatic disease) Cholestatic refers to impaired bile production.

PBC is a disease of reduced bile flow thru the small bile ducts of the liver.
