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 .
  • If left untreated, patients with primary biliary cirrhosis may progress to develop advance stage of liver fibrosis and its subsequent complications such as portal hypertension, hepatic encepahlopathy. Patients with untreated primary biliary cirrhosis have increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Complications

  • Common complications of Primary biliary cirrhosis include:[1][2][3]
    • Cirrhosis
    • Hepatocellular carcinoma
    • Metabolic bone disease
    • Malabsorption

Prognosis

Prognosis is generally good with the mild disease and early treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid. Factors associated with poor prognosis include: [4] [5][6][7][2][8][9][10]
