[Frequency of chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis and primary biliary cirrhosis in comparison with other chronic inflammatory liver diseases].
Primary biliary liver disease was diagnosed and verified by histology and demonstration of antibodies against mitochondrial proteins in 73 patients between 1970 and 1974. Comparing cases between 1950 and 1961 and between 1970 and 1974 with the frequency of other chronic inflammatory liver diseases it was found that figures for advanced primary biliary cirrhosis remained unchanged during both periods whereas early stages of primary biliary disease were detected far more frequently in the latter period. One case with chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis or complete primary biliary cirrhosis was outnumbered by 8 cases of chronic aggressive hepatitis and 15 of liver cirrhosis of various aetiologies in Kassel. The relations in Göttingen were 1 : 5 and 1 : 6, respectively. Primary biliary diseases are no longer rare.
