Extrahepatic autoimmune diseases in primary biliary cholangitis: Prevalence and significance for clinical presentation and disease outcome

Cumali Efe et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that EHAIDs are frequently diagnosed in patients with PBC, and their presence may influence the clinical presentation of PBC but has no impact on the outcome of PBC.

Primary biliary cholangitis with normal alkaline phosphatase: A neglected clinical entity challenging current guidelines

Benedetta Terziroli Beretta-Piccoli et al.

Summary: The study found a high proportion of patients with PBC among those with normal ALP levels and positive AMA. Histological diagnosis of PBC was shown in AMA-negative/PBC-specific ANA-positive individuals for the first time, and GGT was identified as a potential biomarker in PBC patients with normal baseline ALP levels. The current guidelines for diagnosing PBC may not cover the full extent of PBC presentation, highlighting the clinical implications for timely treatment initiation.
