Is dehydration a PSC symptom?

[Guest guest]

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

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!

Shalom,

on the PSC-support website in the messages section I performed a search

on " dry mouth " (between quotation marks like I wrote it) and it

returned 89 hits (the first five being related to this thread). Try to

see if there is something interesting in there. The least you will find

are other people on the group that have this problem.
