Primary Biliary Cholangitis - PBC

Consultant gastroenterologist and hepatologist Associate Professor Martin Weltman discusses what you need to know about Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). PBC is a rare condition that affects the small bile ducts (the network of small tubes that carry bile in the liver). It may eventually lead to long-term liver damage and liver failure. But if treatment is started early, the outcome can be excellent. In this video, A/Prof Weltman discusses what might trigger PBC, how to find out you have it, and what happens next. He talks about the excellent new treatments now available, ursodeoxycholic acid and obeticholic acid. He also discusses complications of PBC.
