Re: ? about Ulcerative Colitis & PSC

[Guest guest]

Hi Lori,

There is a large percentage of people with both conditions - 75% of

people with PSC (not sure if that's world wide or Australia or US)

also have IBS - 85% Ulcerative Colitis and 15% Crohn's. But it's

only something like 2% to 5% of people with IBS that have PSC. I

have come across a few studies on the connection and you'd probably

find some relevant info on the PSC Literature site.

Cheers,

Kate

what the percentage is, those with Ulcerative Colitis and PSC? Do

most or just a few have both? I find this interesting and I am not

sure why they seem to be linked together.  I am sure I missed some

emails on this. My Dad who has PSC has never had Ulcerative

Colitis nor any symptoms of it.

Hi Lori;

In N. Europe and N. America, about 80% of patients with PSC

concomitantly suffer from an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). About

60% suffer from ulcerative colitis, 10% from Crohn's, and 10% from

indeterminate colitis. Only 3.4% of IBD patients also suffer from PSC.
