Pbc? Or not?

Here’s my latest story: I was diagnosed with PBC in 2017 and put on urso immediately. I had the standard 2 out of 3 positives to make a diagnosis. Elevated alk phos, positive AMA2 but never biopsy.Here’s my latest story: I was diagnosed with PBC in 2017 and put on urso immediately. I had the standard 2 out of 3 positives to make a diagnosis.

Hi there, what to do if you are only ama-m2 positive but have normal liver function test ?

Because to my knowledge, the earlier you get a diagnose and start taking urso, the more likelihood that you'll responde to urso, and hence the better the prognosis will be.Because to my knowledge, the earlier you get a diagnose and start taking urso, the more likelihood that you'll responde to urso, and hence the better the prognosis will be.

Alk Phos ticking up after being normal...

Upon taking URSO my numbers dropped to a normal level, but now are trending up. I've jumped from a 120 to 146 in 6 months. I've had several bouts with diverticulitis - not sure if that is a factor. Has anyone else had this and then corrected? And if so what did you do? Thank you!Upon taking URSO my numbers dropped to a normal level, but now are trending up.

Taking Urso first trimester of Pregnancy

:-) Anyway, when I was last pregnant Urso wasn't highly used so I was not on it... Do any mothers out there have any experience Of taking URSO in their first trimester of pregnancy? Very little data available for this, it appears 2nd trimester much more common. Thanks in advance!:-) Anyway, when I was last pregnant Urso wasn't highly used so I was not on it...

PBC and Hair loss

I am losing hair every minute and my pony tail now is so thin and empty:( I wonder if this is because of PBC or because of URSO and is there anything that can make it better or lower this side effect a little?
