So I went to the Gi doctor today and I told him my family has a history of autoimmune diseases and we was discussing my blood work and he asked if I had any symptoms of anything or pain I said no. So he tells me he isnt worried about me having PBC bc for one it's not common in males and for two my alkaline phosphate levels were normal usually with people with PBC they are elevated. So he did more blood work to check everything again and to check for lupus and for piece of mind he still wants to do the liver biopsy just to be sure. He said all he thinks this is, is Gilbert's syndrome because of my bilirubin being elevated for a while.
