To determine if the progression of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is advancing or slowing without another liver biopsy, doctors can use:

- Liver function tests: Elevated liver enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and bilirubin levels, can indicate liver function and disease progression
- Imaging studies: Show Full Answer

To determine if the progression of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is advancing or slowing without another liver biopsy, doctors can use:

- Liver function tests: Elevated liver enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and bilirubin levels, can indicate liver function and disease progression.
- Imaging studies: Ultrasound, CT, and MRI scans help assess liver condition and track changes over time.
- Symptoms: Monitoring symptoms like jaundice, severe itching, and overall liver function can provide clues about disease progression.
