    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Autoimmune Diseases

    Background:

    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease characterized by bile duct inflammation and fibrosis.
    • PSC often co-occurs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly ulcerative colitis.
    • The clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges of PSC necessitate further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics, diagnostic findings, and histological features of primary sclerosing cholangitis in a cohort of patients.
    • To investigate the association between PSC and other autoimmune conditions, such as Sjögren's syndrome.
    • To analyze laboratory and imaging results in patients with PSC.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series involving 6 patients diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis.

  • Clinical data collection including symptoms, medical history (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), and physical examination findings.
  • Laboratory tests (liver function tests, bilirubin), imaging (ERCP), and histological examination (laparoscopy biopsy) were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • The cohort included 4 men and 2 women aged 33-71. Four patients had ulcerative colitis, and two had Crohn's disease.
    • Common symptoms included right upper quadrant pain (66%), itching (50%), fever, jaundice, weight loss, and hepatomegaly (33%).
    • Elevated alkaline phosphatase and gamma GT were universal; 50% had elevated bilirubin. Two patients had cholelithiasis. Histology showed periductal fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis presents with diverse symptoms and is frequently associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Diagnostic evaluation requires a combination of clinical, laboratory, imaging, and histological assessments.
    • PSC management and understanding of its pathogenesis, especially its link with other autoimmune disorders, require continued research.
