Abstract
Among patients with PBC, response to UDCA, treatment and symptoms are related to sex and age at presentation, with the lowest response rates and highest levels of symptoms in women presenting at younger than age 50. Increased severity of fatigue in women is related to increased autonomic symptoms, making dysautonomia a plausible therapeutic target.
