Building awareness and dialogue about racial differences and disparities in PBC.

Much progress has been made in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) research and education, but the impact of race on PBC care and outcomes is not fully understood. Some Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) patients with PBC describe experiences of not being seen and heard by their healthcare providers. In an effort to build awareness and dialogue around this complex issue, we convened a multidisciplinary panel of experts to review available data and share their perspectives both from the physician and patient point of view. Some questions we tackled include:

  • What do we know about PBC and race based on the available medical literature? What research gaps do we need to address?
  • How can patient advocates and the PBC community help address disparities in PBC care?
  • How can we improve understanding of PBC among healthcare providers and ensure the unique needs of all patients are addressed?
  • How does race impact clinical care for patients with PBC?
