Incorrect!
Fatigue is the most common presenting symptom in women with autoimmune liver diseases like PBC and autoimmune hepatitis — but it's also the most dismissed, often attributed to stress, iron deficiency, or depression. Research shows women wait an average of 2–4 years longer than men for a liver disease diagnosis, often because symptoms like fatigue are not further investigated.
