Sclerosing Cholangitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Sclerosing cholangitis is a disease in which the ducts that carry bile inside and outside the liver become inflamed and progressively narrow. Over time, this narrowing can hinder the normal passage of bile.
Common symptoms: Fatigue, itching of the skin, yellowish coloring of the skin or eyes, discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen, and episodes of fever may occur.
When to seek care? The appearance of yellowish coloring, persistent itching, or abdominal pain with fever warrants an evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies diseases of the liver and bile ducts; in children the pediatric gastroenterologist is involved, with support from the general surgeon and pediatrician depending on the case. If you notice these symptoms, the prudent thing is for a professional to examine the situation carefully.
