Abstract
Background and Aims: Hypercholesterolemia is a common finding in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and is a well-defined risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, studies have been mixed on whether PBC patients do, in fact, have higher cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to review the current literature and provide an evidence-based assessment of cardiovascular risk in PBC patients.Keywords
