Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Primary biliary cholangitis is a liver disease that can gradually worsen over time. It may cause no symptoms at first, while some people experience tiredness, itchy skin, dry eyes, and bone or joint aches.
Key points
- Small bile ducts are affected, which can lead to bile building up in the liver.
- Progression can cause liver damage over time and may lead to liver failure without treatment.
- Symptoms vary, and some people may have no noticeable symptoms for a long period.
