Immune Disorders

People with PBC have been shown to have higher levels of cholesterol, which is why making heart-healthy choices is so important.

Ipsen is recruiting participants for a trial assessing the safety and efficacy of elafibranor in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).

Like myself, many with PBC suffer from more than one autoimmune disease, and there are unique challenges that come with multiple diagnoses.

According to interim phase 2 data, golexanolone has a favorable safety and tolerability profile in people with PBC.

A recent study shows prompt identification of extrahepatic conditions (EHCs) is of key importance for the precise, timely diagnosis of PBC.

Some PBC patients report high levels of mental distress, depression and social isolation as a result of their diagnosis and symptoms.

Measures to manage an often heavy symptom burden in PBC can be proactively taken to support quality of life and mental health.

Accommodations for PBC can include flexible work options, telecommuting, job-sharing, modified job duties, additional leave and more.

Cholesterol-lowering medications known as fibrates, often used off-label to treat PBC. showed promising results in a recent study.

Patients with PBC may suffer a greater risk of developing osteoporosis, but researchers have not yet identified a definitive relationship between the two.
