Hi guys- hope you are all doing OK. I've had my PBC diagnosis confirmed- relief finally! Changed GP, hopefully, new surgery will listen and be helpful... got my medical records from old surgery, found all they seem to do is blood tests- but no action!

Hi Deeplydepp. Pyruvate is an intermediate molecule that is made when our cells convert sugar (glucose) into a form of energy that they can use and need to drive just about all cellular functions. If this pyruvate conversion is disrupted, it could indicate a metabolic condition. I’m a cell and molecular biologist but not a medical doctor, so it’s best to discuss the clinical meaning of your result with them. I wish you well!

Thank you very much for responding! I REALLY appreciate it!! Just to be cheeky- how/ what should I say? I'm struggling to converse with medical staff after being dismissed so much by old surgery? Many, many thanks !! 👍🏻👍🏻
