Overview
In 1851, Addison and Gull first described the clinical picture of progressive obstructive jaundice in the absence of mechanical obstruction of the large bile ducts. Ahrens et al in 1950, coined the term primary biliary cirrhosis for this disease. In 1986, the association between primary biliary cirrhosis and anti-mitochondrial antibodies was first reported.
