When it comes to managing your Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), you can make a real difference. Knowing your numbers is the best way to own your PBC. Understanding how they affect you allows you to leave your doctor’s appointments feeling more empowered.
About Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is a slowly progressive bile duct disease, which results from chronic inflammation of the small intrahepatic bile ducts, the system of small tubes in the liver that helps drain bile. It is variable and slowly progressive.
Managing PBC
Managing PBC involves regular monitoring, taking prescribed treatment, managing symptoms, and supporting your overall liver health. With early diagnosis, appropriate medical care, and healthy lifestyle choices, many people with PBC can slow the progression of the disease and continue to lead full, active lives.
PBC Symptoms
PBC symptoms can vary considerably from person to person, and many people have no noticeable symptoms when first diagnosed. When symptoms do occur, fatigue and persistent itching are among the most common, while more advanced liver disease may cause jaundice, fluid buildup, easy bruising, or bleeding.
