primary sclerosing cholangitis - inflammation and scarring of bile duct
Definition for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an inflammatory disease of the bile duct, which leads to cholestasis (blockage of bile transport to the gut).
more
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an inflammatory disease of the bile duct, which leads to cholestasis (blockage of bile transport to the gut). Bile is necessary for the absorption of dietary fat. Blockage of the bile duct leads to accumulation, damages the liver (leading to jaundice) and eventually causes liver failure. Although PSC is often considered to be an autoimmune disease, there may not be universal agreement on this.
