متن کاملPrimary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the biliary system that results in progressive fibrosis and strictures of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Typical radiological changes on retrograde cholangiography are shown in Figure 1. These strictures cause cholestatic liver disease that may progress to end-stage cirrhosis. The disorder has a strong ass...
