Treatment-Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)

  • supportive care, fat-soluble vitamins; no meds have improved survival
  • UDCA may ↓ Aϕ & improve Sx, but unclear if beneficial
  • If dominant stricture → endoscopic dilation, stenting or surgical resection can help
  • Cholangiocarcinoma:
    • 15% lifetime risk;
    • annual surveillance w/ MRCP or U/S & CA19-9
  • Liver transplantation:
    • ~30% recurrence,
    • though if UC,
    • colectomy may ↓ recurrence
