Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Literature

http://www.psc-literature.org/

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver

disease involving inflammation, fibrosis, and structuring of medium-

size and large ducts in the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary

tree. Because the etiology of PSC is unknown, the disease's

progression is unpredictable, and therapeutic options are limited,

patients and their families are constantly looking for more

information to help them cope with the disease. This website was

constructed by a family whose son was diagnosed with PSC after high

school. The website is designed to provide easy access to scientific

literature regarding PSC, and through its " www Resources " link it

provides a well-organized alphabetical list of related websites. The

wealth of scientific literature that can easily be accessed from this

website makes it a good resource for physicians looking for the latest

published information relating to PSC.
