In this podcast, expert faculty, Dr Stuart Gordon and Dr Nancy Reau, use an illustrative patient case to explore the roles of ALP and other biochemical markers in PBC management, and explain what to expect from treatment. Topics covered include:

• How baseline ALP can affect ALP normalization after second-line treatment with elafibranor and seladelpar
• Potential outcomes if ALP normalization cannot be achieved
• The importance of managing fatigue, pruritus, and sleep disturbances independently of the biochemical response
