Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a rare disease of the bile ducts, involving an inflammation of the bile ducts (due to unknown causes).The scar tissue as a result of this inflammation narrows the bile ducts, as a result of which bile might flow back to the liver. At that point, bile is toxic and can destroy the liver. As yet, there exists no medication that can cure PSC. The primary symptoms of PSC are, among others, (debilitating) fatigue, pruritus (intense itching) and jaundice. As a result, the patient’s quality of life is often low. Children and adults can have PSC. The estimated median survival rate from diagnosis until liver transplantation or PSC-related death is currently 21 years.
