Title: Ultrasound imaging findings in primary biliary cholangitis
Version: 3 Date: 17 Nov 2023
Reviewer's report:
This manuscript has been sufficiently revised, but has the following problem.
Minor point
1.(P.13) “During our investigation, we performed pathological analysis of a rare patient---the
portal area.”
This new description appears for the first time in Discussion. Please describe it in Results and
discuss it in Discussion.
How many patients of PBC received transplantation?
2.(P.18) “The main method for non-invasive PBC staging ---was higher than that of VCTE“.
I cannot understand why the authors describe suddenly US elastography in Discussion. The
authors did not perform it in this study. I think it is an important limitation of this study. Please
add this problem in the end of Discussion (as third limitation)(P.18).
