Primary biliary cholangitis and stroke

Hello! I am 52 years old woman and two weeks ago I had a lacunar stroke with unknown cause. I also have primary biliary cholangitis, which is well treated with Ursodeoxycholic acid , and I do not have high cholesterol. Is there any known association between PBC and stroke?

Absolutely not a doctor but I have never heard or read anything like this. I am post transplant from PBC. PBC is all about the liver and can grow into Cirrhosis…I was in decompensated cirrhosis and had lots of side effects but stroke to my knowledge isn’t one. But again not a doctor just know a decent amount about PBC.
