Given the digestive context, PBC usually refers to primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic liver disease in which the small-caliber bile ducts become progressively inflamed and damaged.
Common symptoms: It may go silently for some time and, later, show up with fatigue, itching of the skin, or discomfort in the abdomen.
When is a checkup advisable? It is reasonable to seek care with unexplained fatigue, persistent itching, or abnormalities found on liver tests.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist, often with a focus on the liver, is the one who studies and follows this condition. If you notice these symptoms or have lab results outside the expected range, it is advisable to discuss it with this professional.
