5. Symptoms: Fatigue
Most people can find themselves temporarily overtired from time to time, but usually, there is an identifiable cause within their routine or habits. However, the medical definition of fatigue involves an unrelenting sensation of exhaustion that lasts longer, is more profound, and isn’t relieved by rest.
People with fatigue can have reduced energy, motivation, and concentration. Many diseases can cause fatigue; thus it is not exclusive of primary biliary cholangitis. However, it is one of the first symptoms reported by patients with this condition. Its etiology is uncertain, and it does not correlate with the stage of liver disease or the levels of hepatic enzymes.
