Re: Transplant Inevitably and Recurrent PSC

[Guest guest]

I guess if you take PSC at face value... it describes the condition of the liver

and bile ducts. If you have replaced the liver and bile ducts, then you no

longer have this condition by definition. Now the underlying cause is (might)

still be there - the suspected auto-immune disorder, which will (could) begin to

go to work on the new liver.

Maybe when the disease and mechanics of the disease are understood better, the

name will change and describe this mechanism instead of it's outward effect!
