Abstract:
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic autoimmune disease and may progress to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and even end-stage liver disease without timely and effective treatment. The main purpose of PBC treatment is to prevent the development of end-stage liver disease and improve related clinical symptoms and quality of life. Timely and accurate risk stratification may bring benefits to patients with refractory PBC, and an accurate evaluation of the prognosis of PBC patients is of vial importance for clinical treatment. This article reviews the research advances in the prognostic factors for PBC from the aspects of host factors, laboratory examination, and pharmacotherapy.
