The diseases primarily affecting the biliary epithelium are collectively termed as cholangiopathies. They comprise a wide group of liver pathologies, most often characterized by a chronic progressive and disabling clinical course. Depending upon the nature of the primary insult, cholangiopathies can be categorized as drug-induced, idiopathic, immunomediated, infectious, inherited/genetic, ischemic, and tumoral (Table 13.1). Unfortunately, pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the progression of these diseases are still uncertain.

Abstract
The diseases primarily affecting the biliary epithelium are collectively termed as cholangiopathies. They comprise a wide group of liver pathologies, most often characterized by a chronic progressive and disabling clinical course. Depending upon the nature of the primary insult, cholangiopathies can be categorized as drug-induced, idiopathic, immunomediated, infectious, inherited/genetic, ischemic, and tumoral (Table 13.1). Unfortunately, pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the progression of these diseases are still uncertain.
