Thanks very much TIM,
I dont' doubt the veracity of your reply, however, qbank says this:
"The patient's disease is primary biliary cirrhosis, which is an autoimmune disease characterized by sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiolitis. The most helpful clue in the question stem is the antimitochondrial antibody, which is present in over 90% of the patients. The course is usually slowly progressive over 5-25 years. Patients are sometimes diagnosed when routine blood tests demonstrate an elevated alkaline phosphatase. In addition to the features listed in the question, patients with advanced disease tend to develop profound hypercholesterolemia and xanthomas."
Does PBC always arise from PSC? Is sclerosing always present in PBC as qbank assumes? I guess the qbank answer confuses me...
