Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 hi everyone, just a question how do you know what stage you are in? I was recently dialated and had a stent in April of this year (with complications of pancreatitis). I am doing fine now, but doctors have also advised against pregnancy, but i 30 yrs old and would like to know the different stages. No UC, no IBD, no itching, no jaundice. Can you help explain?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Stages of PSCStage 1 — Fibrosis or scar tissue limited to a few spots calledportal areas, little areas of " plumbing " or ductwork in the livertissueStage 2 — Fibrosis begins to appear outside the portal areas. The strands of fibrosis are not yet connected to each other.Stage 3 — Areas of fibrosis connecting to each otherStage 4 — Widespread, honeycomb like scarring known as cirrhosis Doctors seem to be overcautious. Young ladies (I consider 30 young) with PSC often find PSC goes into commission when pregnant.
