How is everyone doing lately with their PBC? For some of us, the temps are cooler - maybe helping with less itching.

Had my every 6 month check up with the hepatologist today. Labs were all good. My alk phos is 121 - normal range for my lab is 37-153.

Hello Everyone, I am new to the group and I was recently diagnosed with PBC and I was wondering if anyone could share what symptoms they might have been experiencing when they first were diagnosed with PBC.

[u][i]Alkaline phosphatase [/i][/u] It is an enzyme released as a response to injury to the bile ducts - not the liver itself. As more cells are injured, the more alk phos is released. Alk phos is not in itself harmful. Higher levels in the blood does not mean more tissue damage. Even lowering

[u][i]"upper limits of normal" [/i][/u] When we have any blood work done, there is always a 'normal' range given with our results. Hospitals or labs can somethings differ as to what their 'normal' is. Always look at what your results are according to that normal. According to Dr. Jones, in

Hello, Firstly, I'd like to express my gratitude to the mods and everyone here who has contributed to making this space such a supportive and valuable resource. My question: Has anyone experienced a spike in their ALT levels as a side effect of ADT and/or radiation? (ALT stands for alanine transaminase

my paa levels have gone crazy I’m awaiting another scan but should I be worried?

[u][i]Urso responder........[/i][/u] Right now the criteria used is that the patients' alkaline phosphatase result is LESS than 1.67 times the upper limits of normal and the bilirubin results are less than one time the upper limits of normal. I know this can be very confusing. This is why
