Primary Biliary Cholangitis Symptoms Quiz
For adults noticing persistent itching, fatigue or changes in liver blood tests, recording when symptoms started and how they affect daily life can help a healthcare professional decide what to assess. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) can also occur without symptoms, so few symptoms do not exclude it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this quiz, what it covers, and what your results mean.
These questions have not been clinically validated. Symptoms cannot diagnose PBC; it can be silent. New or worsening yellow eyes or skin needs care today. Confusion, vomiting blood, black tarry stool, severe abdominal pain or fainting needs emergency care.
Primary biliary cholangitis, or PBC, is an autoimmune disease affecting the bile ducts in the liver. Some people have no symptoms, while others experience itching, fatigue or dry eyes and mouth.
Autoimmune means the immune system acts against the body's own tissues. In PBC, the disease affects the bile ducts. Symptoms alone cannot establish that an autoimmune process is the cause.
A cholestatic pattern means blood test findings suggest a problem with bile flow. These findings help clinicians decide what to assess, but they do not identify PBC by themselves. Alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin provide part of this context.
PBC involves an autoimmune process affecting the bile ducts. Identifying this condition requires clinical assessment and testing; itching, fatigue or dryness alone cannot show what is causing the symptoms.
PBC may cause fatigue, itching and dry eyes or mouth. Jaundice, or yellowing of the eyes or skin, can occur later. New or worsening yellowing needs prompt medical assessment today, regardless of other symptoms.
Yes. PBC may be present without noticeable symptoms. Feeling well or having few symptoms cannot rule it out, and known abnormal liver or antibody findings still need clinical interpretation.
Clinicians use cholestatic liver blood tests, antibody findings and the clinical history. Imaging or a liver biopsy is sometimes needed. Neither a symptom pattern nor a general liver panel can diagnose PBC on its own.
The panel measures alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, direct, indirect and total bilirubin, albumin, globulin, total protein and the albumin/globulin ratio. A clinician may consider it for liver enzyme and bilirubin context when appropriate. It does not include antibody testing and cannot diagnose, confirm or rule out PBC or identify the cause of symptoms on its own.
Yes, itching can occur with PBC, but it can also have other causes. Note when it started, how often it happens and whether it disrupts sleep. Persistent itching is worth discussing with a healthcare professional rather than using it to identify a liver condition.
Fatigue and dry eyes or mouth can occur with PBC, but they are not specific to it. Describe how long they have lasted and how they affect daily life. A clinician can assess the symptoms in the context of any actual liver or antibody findings.
A general liver panel cannot rule out PBC on its own. A clinician interprets the values alongside the clinical history, antibody findings and any other indicated assessment. Few or absent symptoms also cannot exclude PBC.
New or worsening yellowing of the eyes or skin needs prompt medical assessment today. New confusion, vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal pain or fainting needs emergency care now: call 911 or go to an emergency department. Do not drive yourself or delay care for blood testing.
Bring a short record of when symptoms began, how often they occur and whether they interrupt sleep or daily tasks. Include any ongoing eye or mouth dryness and copies of existing liver or antibody reports.
