    • Autoimmune Diseases
    • Biliary System Disorders

    Background:

    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an uncommon, idiopathic liver disease.
    • PSC frequently progresses to severe complications including secondary biliary cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and liver failure.
    • A significant association exists between PSC and ulcerative colitis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics of six patients diagnosed with PSC.
    • To highlight the diagnostic modalities and current management limitations for PSC.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series describing six patients with PSC.
    • Review of diagnostic tools, emphasizing endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and liver biopsy.
    • Discussion of treatment strategies focused on symptom management.

    Main Results:

    • The study details the presentation and progression in six PSC patients.
    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) is identified as the primary diagnostic investigation.
    • Liver biopsy can support the diagnosis but is not definitive.

    Conclusions:

    • PSC is a serious condition with unpredictable outcomes and no definitive cure.
    • Effective symptom management is crucial for patients with PSC.
    • Early diagnosis and monitoring are essential due to the potential for severe complications.
