Primary sclerosing cholangitis

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic liver disease marked by progressive inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts. This leads to bile flow obstruction, liver damage, and eventually cirrhosis. PSC is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease, especially ulcerative colitis. There’s no cure, and management focuses on monitoring, symptom relief, and liver transplantation in advanced cases.
