ABSTRACT
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic progressive cholestatic liver disease often observed in the middle-aged and elderly women and it can eventually lead to liver cirrhosis or liver failure. Osteoporosis is one of the common complications in PBC patients and is characterized by decreased bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures. Osteoporosis and fractures caused by osteoporosis seriously affect the quality of life of PBC patients, and with the improvement of PBC treatment strategies and the increase in life expectancy, early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of PBC with osteoporosis is of particular importance. This article briefly summarizes the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis and treatment of patients with PBC and osteoporosis and proposes current challenges and future research directions.
