During several focus groups, we have started to compile clinical information about the different treatments as well as patients’ experiences with them.
This app is a dynamic work in progress. The info you can see right now is just a starting point. We will continue to update it when patients or their family members enter their experiences with treatments through the app. After you’ve had a chance to explore, please consider contributing your treatment experiences to help make this an even more well-rounded source of information for our community!
This is a community-built information tool based on patient self-reported experiences. It is NOT representative of a systematic scientific review of available treatments. Research is always ongoing, and more info will be added as more people contribute their self-reported patient experiences.
Please note that patient experiences with PFIC treatments are unique. Treatment effects can depend on many factors, for instance which other surgeries a patient has had in the past, or which other medications a patient is currently taking. Even if multiple patients experience a certain benefit or side effect, this does not mean you will!
PFIC Network is not prescribing or advising any treatment. Please talk to your doctor to make any treatment decisions for you or your child. This app is a resource for you to learn a bit more before you talk to your doctor, or to go through this app together with your doctor.
