I am in the process of being diagnosed with PBC. Everything is positive except my IgM levels are normal. Can I still have PBC?

I am waiting to get a liver biopsy.

My IgM level was also normal. I was AMA positive with high enzymes levels, plus symtomatic. Liver biopsy showed stage 2 in Oct. Since starting Urso, all my numbers are normal again. Best Wishes!

Thank you HieidiLucy. I am still trying to wrap my head around all of this. I'm so glad I found this forum. Everyone seems so nice.

I still have trouble with understanding the staging of pbc,surely if your bloods go back to normal that should mean that stage you are at should of improved,it is all very confusing.
