Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the intrahepatic bile ducts that is often misdiagnosed until it progresses to advanced stages, including end-stage liver disease. Symptoms such as intractable pruritus and severe fatigue, often accompanied by abnormal liver function tests should elicit clinical suspicion of PBC, a so-called common rare disease. While PBC disproportionately affects middle-aged White women, it is increasingly being seen in men and in African American and Asian American populations. The increasing prevalence of PBC, coupled with disparities in diagnosis and treatment access, highlight the urgent need for improved clinical awareness. In this CME Outfitters live webcast, expert faculty will assess the burden of delayed diagnosis on patients with PBC, review evidence-based strategies for early, non-invasive detection, and discuss contemporary clinical pathways for treatment, including recent FDA-approved options. The program will also emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration and shared decision-making to empower patients and improve health outcomes through informed and equitable care. Learners will be equipped with evidence-based tools to help incorporate diagnostic and treatment approaches at the point of care.
