This study describes six patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in India, highlighting challenging cholangiographic features and poor outcomes. The findings underscore the difficulties in managing this rare liver disease.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, chronic cholestatic liver disease.
  • PSC diagnosis and management present significant challenges, particularly in regions with limited data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical presentation, cholangiographic findings, and outcomes of PSC patients in Northern India.
  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with PSC.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of six patients diagnosed with PSC.
  • Clinical data and follow-up information collected over up to 4 years.
  • Cholangiographic features analyzed for characteristic patterns.

Main Results:

  • All patients presented with cholestatic jaundice and cholangitis.

  • Characteristic cholangiographic findings included irregular narrowing and segmental dilatation of biliary radicles, creating a beaded appearance.
  • One patient developed variceal hemorrhage; two died of hepatic encephalopathy during follow-up.

    • Conclusions:

    • PSC in this cohort presented with severe manifestations and challenging clinical courses.
    • The characteristic cholangiographic findings are crucial for diagnosis.
    • Outcomes were poor, emphasizing the need for improved management strategies for PSC.
