Summary

This study is a registry that will follow 500 people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in Austria. Researchers will collect medical data and optional blood or liver samples to learn how the disease progresses and what complications arise. No new treatment is being tested; the goal is simply to gather information for future research.
