Abstract:
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is one of common autoimmune liver diseases, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. This article summarizes the role of microRNA in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and outcome evaluation of PBC and points out that microRNA may be involved in the development and progression of PBC and may thus be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and outcome evaluation.
