Abstract

Osteoporosis is not a feature unique to primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) but is also found in other categories of liver disease. The principles developed for monitoring and treating postmenopausal osteoporosis can also be followed for patients with PBC. Monitoring of dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D serum levels is essential, and the threshold for initiating supplementation should be low. Bisphosphonates can be considered the most rational choice when specific therapy is required.
