| Popis: | Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic slowly progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by non-purulent destructive inflammation and sclerosis of the extra- and intrahepatic bile ducts, leading to secondary biliary cirrhosis. The etiology of the disease is unknown; however, bacterial and genetic factors are presumed to be implicated. In 66-84% of cases, PSC is accompanied by inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The diagnosis of PSC is based on the clinical presentation of the disease and on the data of magnetic resonance imaging or endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. The treatment of PSC has not been developed; there is evidence that ursodeoxycholic acid reduces cholestasis. Orthotopic liver transplantation is indicated at the stage of decompensated liver cirrhosis. |
