Stella, MO. Teen (16) waits for tx for PSC

[Guest guest]

Answers for why and how Edens

contracted primary sclerosing cholangitis

(PSC), a disease whose advanced stages cause the destruction of bile ducts in

the liver, remain elusive.

This isn’t supposed to be happening Edens, a rangy baseball player from East Newton High

School.

PSC is supposed to prey on adults, and the average

age of diagnosis is 40, according to the Mayo Clinic. It

is also supposed to work slowly and steadily, requiring years to reach its

advanced stages.

Edens was

diagnosed with PSC less than three months ago. He

already is on a list for a liver transplant…….. http://www.joplinglobe.com/local/local_story_076012744.html
