[Guest guest]

I was wondering if someone had information on primary biliary

cirrhosis, and what is their doctor doing for it. I have just

been dignosis with it. Thanks

Your best source of information on Primary Biliary Cirrhosis will be the

PBCers.com web site. You will also get a lot of information and support from

this site, which is mostly made up with people who have Autoimmune Hep.

Don't dispare, this isn't the end of the world. The best plan of attack for

PBC is to take URSO. URSO is a wonderful drug that has been proven to

significantly slow the progression of PBC. If you are in an early stage,

chances are that you will be able to live a normal life, symtom free. That

is, as long as you take URSO, and take good care of your body. (everything in

moderation). These are not my words, these are the words of my Hepatologist

who says there are clinical trials going on right now on drugs to reverse

liver scaring. He said, " by the time you need a transplant, you will be able

to achieve the same results with a medication " .

So, for now, take good care of your body, make sure you are being seen by a

good hepatologist, and GOOD LUCK!!!

I would like to second the suggestion that you should go to the PBC

board, and perhaps, join that group.

This hyperlink will tell you what the disease is all about, and how

it is being generally treated.
