Approach to the liver biopsy diagnosis of adult cholangiopathies

Cholangiopathy refers to a wide spectrum of chronic biliary disorders. Primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis account for the vast majority of cholangiopathies in adult patients. Inflammatory variants of these disorders are often described as overlap syndromes with autoimmune hepatitis. Other cholangiopathies show clinical and histologic features that can mimic primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis, and require clinical information as well as a careful assessment of histologic findings to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
