Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis - Current Issues in Clinical Practice

Abstract

Aims: To review current issues in the diagnosis and treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Methods: search of PubMed using the terms "primary sclerosing cholangitis", "PSC", "cholangitis" and "cholestasis", as well as by review of current guidelines from the major international liver societies. Results: Primary sclerosing cholangitis is still a challenging condition to diagnose and manage, but newer imaging modalities like MRCP and timing of liver transplantation point the way forward.
