Overview
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
OR
Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
OR
Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
- The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
Complications
- Common complications of Primary biliary cirrhosis include:[1][2][3]
- Cirrhosis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Metabolic bone disease
- Malabsorption
Prognosis
Prognosis is generally good with the mild disease and early treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid. Factors associated with poor prognosis include: [4] [5][6][7][2][8][9][10]
- Advanced disease
- Co existing autoimmune disorders such as Sicca syndrome, Thyroiditis, and Scleroderma
- Symptomatic disease
- Increased levels of alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels at the time of diagnosis
- Stage III and IV disease on histological examination
- Presence of antinuclear antibodies( antiGp210, antiSp100)
- Cigarette Smoking
- Genetic polymporphism
