Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are rare liver diseases that significantly impair quality of life (QoL). In this study, we analysed two large cohorts comprising a total of 1267 patients with PBC and PSC, showing that fatigue is a frequent symptom in both conditions, particularly among females. Fatigue was associated with liver function markers (ALP/GGT in PSC) and with cirrhosis (in PBC). It was also often linked to cholestatic pruritus, further compromising QoL.
原发性胆汁性胆管炎(PBC)和原发性硬化性胆管炎(PSC)是罕见的肝脏疾病,会严重损害生活质量(QoL)。在本研究中,我们分析了两个大型队列,共纳入1267例PBC和PSC患者,结果显示疲劳是这两种疾病的常见症状,在女性中尤为常见。疲劳与肝功能指标(PSC中的碱性磷酸酶/γ-谷氨酰转肽酶)和肝硬化(PBC中)相关。它还常常与胆汁淤积性瘙痒有关,进一步损害生活质量。
