Fibroobliterative lesions and fibrous cholangitis are characteristic histological lesions of primary sclerosing cholangitis. To determine whether such lesions can be found in the liver allograft, and whether they represent recurrent disease, we reviewed all consecutive histological material taken at

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the link between susceptibility to autoimmune liver disease and genes of the HLA system, although the role of the DPBl locus in British patients has only been investigated in autoimmune hepatitis. The aim of the current study was to determine

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) predisposes to cholangiocarcinoma (CC), which usually is widespread in the liver at the time of the diagnosis and which has a median survival of approximately 6 months. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a noninvasive scanning method that allows the assessment
During the 1995 heat wave in Chicago, the maximum temperature recorded was 40Β°C, although the heat index, an estimate of evaporative and radiative transfer of heat, was 48.3Β°C. 3 In developing countries, heat waves are accompanied by poor electricity supplies that disturb the working of electricity
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an idiopathic chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammatory destruction of the biliary tree. It slowly progresses, resulting in biliary fibrosis and obliteration leading to end-stage liver disease. The most feared complication of PSC is the d
