Liver biopsy results

[skirsche]

Liver biopsy results show focal intraepithelial lymphocytes. They say this is mild and nonspecific, but given positive AMAs, may represent early or minimal change PBC.

LFTs are normal except for elevated ALT.

Does this sound like PBC? Do you start Urso with only minimal change?

I'm nervous and my specialist appointment isn't until Monday.

I should clarify that the lymphocytes are in the bile ducts

This sounds like my biopsy results which they dx PBC in stage 0/1 and I started Urso pretty quickly. I feel fine (was asymptomatic at dx and am still such) Best wishes and know that there is a lot of hope out there. I have found that just living my day to the fullest and not focusing on this helps me immensely.

Yes! Sounds just like me! He actually told me to look at it more as elevated liver enzymes . Mine is PBC but caught really early! I'm on Urso.
