Abstract:
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune-mediated chronic progressive liver disease and can progress to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer in the late stage. Clinical manifestations and complications of PBC have significant impact on patients’ mind and body, leading to the reduction in Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL). At present, HRQL has attracted more and more attention. This article summarizes the HRQL scales commonly used in China and foreign countries to assess HRQL in PBC patients and analyzes the main influencing factors for HRQL in PBC patients, in order to improve the treatment and monitoring of PBC patients in clinical practice.
