Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 hey Since I started having PSC symptoms, I also suffered from dry mouth and in the last blood tests I had high Albumin and Sodium, my doctor said I might be a little dehydrated. Is it a PSC symptom? and what does it mean? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Micheal, I don't think dehydration is caused by PSC, but dehydration causes more problems with PSC (ie. thicker bile). Make sure you drink lots (water).

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi ; If you have both dry eyes and dry mouth, then it's possible that this could be Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease that is sometimes associated with PSC: Sjögren's syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjogren_syndrome PANCREATITIS, SCLEROSING CHOLANGITIS, AND SICCA COMPLEX http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=260480 The sicca complex is also known as the Sjogren syndrome. While it is important to recognize this as a possibile cause of dry mouth in a PSC background, only your doctor could diagnose you with this syndrome. It may be that you just need to increase your water intake!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah I've read some of the previous entries containing dry mouth. Some poeple with Sjogren have it so it's obvious but some people (like me) just have dry mouth ( I have it on my lips mostly and sometimes in the throat).. And it also comes with diabetes, it seems like it's some kind of a weird reaction of the body to autoammune diseases... My doctors are still looking for sjogren but can't find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
