Working in a printing factory alone is not enough to determine if you have PBC. The key symptoms that typically indicate PBC include:

• Extreme fatigue
• Severe itching, particularly on the feet
• Elevated liver enzyme levels (found through blood tests) If you're concerned about having PBC, the best course of action is to:

1. Document any symptoms you're experiencing
2. Schedule an appointment with your doctor for proper evaluation
3. Get appropriate blood tests to check liver function
4. Request a referral to a hepatologist (liver specialist) if needed

Remember that PBC is most commonly diagnosed in women and often has a genetic component. Only a qualified healthcare provider can properly diagnose PBC through specific medical tests and evaluation of your symptoms.
