I was having some stomach issues, itching (which I didn’t know was a liver thing), on and off high alt, ast and ggt, fatigue, hypokalemia and my cholesterol spiked up high after always having low.
The AMA antibodies are specific for PBC but CAN be indicative of other things. The liver biopsy confirms. This is what my dr told me.
Have you seen a gastroenterologist? They may recommend liver biopsy.

I’m having a biopsy of the skin where the Livedo reticularis is. That can be a symptom of many autoimmune and vascular diseases and even cancers.

Hi Lady,

The sooner you are prescribed urso and other meds to help with the itching and cholesterol the better for you. I would get a second opinion on the biopsy.
