The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

rimary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is now most frequently diagnosed as a result of an assessment following the identification of abnormal liver biochemistry in an otherwise well patient. An increasing number of patients are diagnosed after investigations of unexplained fatigue. Cholestatic pruritus can be a presenting feature in some, and occasional patients will present with end-stage liver disease. Improvements in the range and effectiveness of therapies over the next few years are likely to increase the importance of an early diagnosis for optimal therapy.
