Histological diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis in one patient without cholestasis alterations: a case report that escaped guidelines by Matteo Biagi, Elisa Bernasconi, Carmela Cursaro, Enrico Ronconi, Filippo Zanni, Pamela Sighinolfi, Pietro Andreone

“…However, many patients with these characteristics have been diagnosed with PBC disease only histologically, mainly patients with normal ALP and elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), whose normalization has been used as a marker for the follow-up. In contrast, this is the case of a patient with autoantibody positivity and both ALP and GGT within the range, diagnosed for PBC by histology. …”
