A 43-year-old lady with long standing non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus on glibenclamide presented with cholestatic liver disease. Initially she was thought to have developed primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). When she made a spontaneous recovery following the withdrawal of glibenclamide, it became obvious that the patient had been suffering from drug-induced chronic cholestasis (DICC). The subtle differences between PBC and DICC are highlighted.
