PBC Specialists

Hepatologist

A hepatologist is a liver specialist. If you can, find one who focuses on PBC. A hepatologist will likely diagnose you with PBC, then monitor the disease through the years. They’ll also recommend and prescribe any treatments for PBC.

PBC Specialists

Gastroenterologist

A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in the gastrointestinal tract. The liver and bile ducts are part of this body system. You may have just a gastroenterologist, just a hepatologist, or one of each. Gastroenterologists are helpful when you have digestive symptoms of PBC, like diarrhea or weight loss.

PBC Specialists

Primary Care Provider

Even if you have specialists to help you with PBC, you should also have a primary care provider. This is often the doctor you take your general health concerns to. They might be the first person you see when you start having symptoms of PBC.

PBC Specialists

Endocrinologist

Some people diagnosed with PBC also end up being diagnosed with osteoporosis. An endocrinologist is a doctor who can diagnose, monitor, and treat osteoporosis. They can order and perform tests designed to measure the density of your bones.

PBC Specialists

Dietitian

Dietitians specialize in helping you get the nutrition you need in ways that are individualized for your body. Dietitians can offer careful monitoring of important vitamin and mineral levels (such as calcium and vitamins A, D, E, and K) which are mostly affected by PBC.

PBC Specialists

Rheumatologist

A rheumatologist is a doctor who specializes in musculoskeletal conditions and autoimmune diseases. Some people with PBC also have other autoimmune diseases at the same time, like rheumatoid arthritis.

PBC Specialists

Dermatologist

PBC can start out with itchy skin and may cause other symptoms that can affect your skin. Dermatologists specialize in treating these kinds of problems. If you don’t have these symptoms of PBC, you may not need to see a dermatologist.

PBC Specialists

Mental Health Professional

Living with a chronic disease like PBC can take a toll on your mental health. You might feel isolated, anxious, depressed, or extremely stressed. Mental health experts like therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists can help you cope with how your symptoms affect you and help you find ways to face concerns about the future.
