    Significant bacteriuria is common in primary biliary cirrhosis patients, increasing with age. This liver disease, likely autoimmune, shows no link between infection and disease stage.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Autoimmune Diseases

    Context:

    • Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease of probable autoimmune origin.
    • Previous reports suggest a high incidence of bacteriuria in PBC patients.
    • This study investigates bacteriuria in 30 PBC patients within our department.

    Purpose:

    • To study the incidence of significant bacteriuria in primary biliary cirrhosis patients.
    • To evaluate potential predisposing factors for bacteriuria in this cohort.
    • To determine the relationship between bacteriuria and the histologic stage of PBC.

    Summary:

    • A high incidence of significant bacteriuria was observed in 30 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.
    • Bacteriuria frequency significantly increased with patient age.

  • No correlation was found between bacteriuria incidence and the histologic stage of PBC.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights a specific infection risk (bacteriuria) in primary biliary cirrhosis.
    • Suggests age as a key factor influencing bacteriuria in PBC.
    • Informs clinical monitoring and management strategies for PBC patients regarding urinary tract infections.
