Primary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic bile duct disease leading to fibrotic biliary strictures and liver cirrhosis. The patient population is heterogeneous with regard to disease progression and the presence of co-morbidities, complicating the practical handling of patients as well as studies of pathogenetic mechanisms. The aetiology of PSC
