It is most commonly found in women of middle age but can affect both sexes. Generally affecting one out of every three to four thousand people, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis inflames the liver\u2019s bile ducts prohibiting the flow of bile out of the liver. As the bile builds up, a condition known as cholestasis, it damages the liver causing scarring, cirrhosis (the replacement of healthy liver tissue with regenerative nodules and scar tissue), and fibrosis (the development of excess fibrous connective tissue in the liver). In the final stages, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis can cause the total cessation of liver function.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cd1c6f6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cd1c6f6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d659c9c\" data-id=\"d659c9c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f835730 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f835730\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Symptoms of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9d34d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a9d34d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEarly signs of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis include itching (pruritus) and fatigue.
