Characteristics and Long-term Prognosis of the Autoimmune Hepatitis/PSC Overlap Syndrome.

[Guest guest]

Diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the overlap

syndrome of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary sclerosing

cholangitis (PSC) are controversial.

Our aim was to assess the clinical characteristics and long-term

prognosis of the AIH/PSC overlap syndrome………

Interesting. Even though this was a very small study group, it seems to follow what I've been through quite accurately. My initial biopsy in 2000 showed consistency with PSC. When I showed the slide to another hepatologist he noted either AIH or PSC. My initial & only ERCP was negative. My last biopsy showed both AIH & PSC. I initially had small-duct PSC.Marie
