Overview

There is no established system for the classification of primary biliary cirrhosis. However, it can be classified into four stages according to histological classification of Ludwig. It can also be classified into four stages according to the histological classification of P. Scheuer.

Classification

  • There is no established system for the classification of primary biliary cirrhosis.
  • However, it can be classified into four stages according to histological classification of Ludwig. According to Ludwig classification, all four stages may be present on a single liver biopsy.[1][2]
  • It can also be classified into four stages according to the histological classification of P. Scheuer.[3]


Classification of Primary biliary cirrhosis on the basis of histology
Stage Histologic appearance
Ludwig classification Scheuer's classification
Stage 1 Portal inflammation Florid duct lesion or chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis
Stage 2 Extension of inflammation beyond portal tracts into surrounding parenchyma with or without ductal loss Proliferation of the small bile ductules
Stage 3 Presence of fibrous septa linking adjacent portal tracts Fibrosis or scarring
Stage 4 Cirrhosis Cirrhosis
