Podcast: Managing Fatigue and Pruritus in Your Patients With PBC

How can clinicians better recognize and manage itching and fatigue in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)? In this podcast, hepatology clinicians from RUSH University Medical Center discuss the impact of PBC-related pruritus and fatigue on sleep, daily activities, and quality of life. The conversation explores proactive symptom screening, assessing itch severity, and individualizing treatment with options such as cholestyramine, PPAR therapies, rifampin, and sertraline. The speakers discuss how their treatment approaches have evolved and why ongoing communication helps identify when symptom management needs to change. For patients experiencing PBC fatigue, they address evaluating contributing factors such as thyroid dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, and anemia, along with sleep hygiene, exercise, and realistic expectations for treatment. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize that symptom severity does not necessarily reflect liver disease progression or biochemical response. This episode highlights the importance of looking beyond liver tests, validating patients’ experiences, and encouraging patient advocacy and support networks as part of comprehensive PBC care.
