If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
The symptoms of primary biliary cirrhosis usually develop in the fourth and fifth decade of life and start with symptoms such as [[fatigue]] and [[pruritis]]. If left untreated, patients with primary biliary cirrhosis may progress to develop an advanced stage of [[Fibrosis|liver fibrosis]] and its subsequent complications such as [[portal hypertension]] and [[liver failure]]. Patients with untreated primary biliary cirrhosis have an increased the incidence of [[hepatocellular carcinoma]]. Prognosis of the disease is generally good with the mild disease and early treatment with [[ursodeoxycholic acid]].


OR
Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
OR
Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.

Overview

The symptoms of primary biliary cirrhosis usually develop in the fourth and fifth decade of life and start with symptoms such as fatigue and pruritis. If left untreated, patients with primary biliary cirrhosis may progress to develop an advanced stage of liver fibrosis and its subsequent complications such as portal hypertension and liver failure. Patients with untreated primary biliary cirrhosis have an increased the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Prognosis of the disease is generally good with the mild disease and early treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • The symptoms of primary biliary cirrhosis usually develop in the fourth and fifth decade of life and start with symptoms such as fatigue and pruritis.[1][2][3]
  • If left untreated, patients with primary biliary cirrhosis may progress to develop advanced stage of liver fibrosis and its subsequent complications such as portal hypertension and liver failure.
  • Patients with untreated primary biliary cirrhosis have increased the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Complications

Prognosis

Prognosis is generally good with the mild disease and early treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid. Factors associated with poor prognosis include: [8][9][10][2][11][12][13]
