Abstract

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) significantly impairs health-related quality of life (HRQL), yet the impact of disease stage and fatigue on HRQL and psychological status remains insufficiently quantified. This study aimed to investigate differences in HRQL across disease stages and the impact of fatigue in patients with PBC.
