Primary sclerosing cholangitis

Clinical information

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with progressive destruction of the bile ducts. The global prevalence of PSC is around 14 cases per 100,000 people. Men are more often affected than women (60 % to 80 %). The disease is mainly diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 60. PSC is observed to be more frequent in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly ulcerative colitis (85% to 90%) and Crohn's disease (10 % to 15 %). For this reason, PSC patients often have autoantibodies against granulocytes (pANCA) in their serum, with the main target antigen being DNA-bound lactoferrin.

Diagnostics

Choliangography is the most important method for a reliable diagnosis of PSC. Although PSC is associated with many autoantibodies, it is not considered to be a typical autoimmune disease. However, in childhood, it may be associated with autoimmune phenomena, including high-titer autoantibodies (e.g. ANA, ANCA and ASMA). In suspected cases of overlap syndrome with autoimmune hepatitis or primary biliary cholangitis (up to 10% of cases), serological antibody testing may provide additional diagnostic information.
