Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) 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. Those who are diagnosed in early stages and who respond to medication, can have a normal life expectancy.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important when living with PBC. We assembled a Healthy Living Panel bringing together a Hepatologist, a Dr of Naturopathic Medicine and a Registered Dietician, to answer questions asked by PBC Patients.

Top PBC specialists from across the country answer your frequently asked questions related to PBC: symptoms, related disorders, causes, medications, diagnosis, testing, diet and exercise.
