Outlook for People with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Primary biliary cholangitis is a progressive and chronic disease. It cannot be cured and would cause permanent damage to the liver over time. Nevertheless, the progression tends to be slow. This means that you would be able to lead a normal life for years without experiencing any symptoms. If symptoms do occur, certain medications would help ease them. Many treatments have improved the long-term outlook for those with primary biliary cholangitis over the last decades. In general, early diagnosis and treatment would be better. The key is to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider and make healthy lifestyle changes. [12]
