Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive disease that damages the bile ducts, leading to liver damage. This condition, while rare, can have significant long-term health implications if left undiagnosed or untreated. The challenge lies in the fact that PSC often presents with symptoms that are easily mistaken for other, more common liver or gastrointestinal disorders.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease that affects the bile ducts inside and outside the liver. It is a progressive condition that causes inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts, leading to narrowing and blockage. This disrupts the normal flow of bile, which is essential for digestion and removing waste products from the liver. Over time, PSC can cause serious liver damage, leading to liver failure or the need for a liver transplant.
