Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the bile ducts, leading to narrowing and blockage. This can result in the backup of bile in the liver, leading to liver damage and cirrhosis. PSC is closely linked to inflammatory bowel disease and can increase the risk of complications such as bile duct and colon cancer. Early diagnosis and management are important for improving outcomes.
