Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic disease in which the ducts that carry bile inside and outside the liver become inflamed and gradually narrow with scarring, which hinders the normal flow of bile.
Common symptoms: fatigue, itching of the skin, yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes, abdominal discomfort, and, at times, fever.
When to see the doctor? Jaundice, persistent itching, or prolonged abdominal discomfort deserve an evaluation to determine their origin.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the professional who studies and follows up on this condition; in children, pediatric gastroenterology is also involved along with the pediatrician. Seeing a doctor in time allows the progression of the liver to be monitored properly.
