Waiting for diagnosis
I had a liver biopsy in January as the liver function tests were borderline and this has shown both PBC and AIH so my consultant has written to a liver specialist at another hospital for a second opinion but has started me on
Urso
in the meantime. Is it normal to wait a year for a diagnosis?

Just diagnosed with PBC
Was prescribed
Urso
300 mg x 3 a day. Just curious as to what stage I might be in. Is this considered alot to take right off the bat and does this mean I have some liver damage? I feel fatigued all the time as well as queasy, best I can describe.

PBC and dietary advise
Have been taking 5 x 150mg
URSO
for about six weeks now. I asked the liver specialist about diet but she said none nesessary! Then she said, musingly, almost as talking to hershelf, that "Your cholesterol will of course be going trough the roof, but that we will deal with medication."!

Worried
Hi, I was diagnosed in 2011/12, started
Urso
but LFTs have never got back to normal. I've had an ultrasound which showed enlarged spleen and dilated bile duct, is this something that can happen with PBC ? Bit concerned, I've ended up having an MRI within 3 days of seeing consultant!

Primary biliary cirrhosis
I read that it is not a good idea to take indigestion tablets as they could interact badly with
urso
.

PBC / AIH overlap?
I have been taking
Urso
for 18 months since diagnosis of PBC and generally feeling ok. Some stomach problems but manageable. A few months back I started to feel very tired all the time and my regular LFTs started going in the wrong direction.

Just been diagnosed today
I have just been diagnosed today and given
URSO
. As I am both ANA and AMA positive, the doctor thinks that I should do a liver biopsy as well to rule out overlap of both PBC and autoimmune hepatitis. I am very scared about that.

Just a question... about stopping ursodiol
I am taking
Urso
for PBC. I am curious what would happen if I just stopped taking it. Before you start shaking your head I know the Ursodiol is supposed to be slowing the progression of the PBC etc. I want to know what would be my likely and immediate effects.

Still not prescribed urso
The view was that until test showed abnormality, or I had any itching that no
urso
should be prescribed at this stage.( I am in UK, weight not an issue) The Polymyalgia is now under control and am down to 6 mg a day from 15 last September.

Help needed: health, biopsy and lab contradict
Gastroenterologist decided to keep me off
Urso
to see if liver stabilizes or gets worse. Now June suddenly all lab values exploded, ggt 277, phospatase 241, Alat 200, Asat 121 worse than before 2013 when I did not have
Urso
yet. And triple from being on
Urso
. And it took the
Urso
a year to work!

Vitamin B2
I don't know if it's safe to take with
Urso
, as I read somewhere it can reduce the efficiency of certain drugs. Does anyone else out there take vitamin B2 for migraines? Does it work? Is it safe to take with
Urso
?

Not feeling great
I have never taken
urso
. in October last year I had bloods done and saw a rheumatologist due to backache and joint pains and was told that I have no other autoimmune disorders. I have had an under active thyroid for over 25 years and am on tablets for that.
