Autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, thyroid, rheumatoid, and coeliac were common with those who have PBC. Also those who have a family history of autoimmune disease came across to having PBC. People to geth this disease was more likely to smoke than to drink alcohol. Scientist are looking at if the chemicals in cosmetics are more of a cause for the PBC.

Wow this was actually shocking to read. I never thought hair dye could be a factor of liver disease. I did suspect smoking and drinking, but never hair dye. Now this makes me never to want to dye my hair. But also the chemicals in the hair dye is also found in finger nail polish.
