Previously, we have found that the absence of the colon after liver transplantation (LT) protects the patient from recurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis (rPSC). As our previous observation has not been confirmed in other series, we have reviewed our cohort of patients grafted for primary sclerosi

Liver transplantation (LT) is the only therapeutic option for end-stage primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), but PSC can recur (rPSC) in some patients after LT. The aim of our study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with rPSC. Between 1989 and 2004, 69 patients receiving transplantation f
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the only effective treatment for end-stage liver disease due to primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Recurrence of PSC has recently emerged as a leading cause of allograft failure in the long term. There is limited data on risk factors for recurrence of PSC
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
Recurrence of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) following liver transplantation has been suggested; however, it has not been fully defined because of numerous complicating factors and the lack of diagnostic criteria. In the present study, we investigated the recurrence of PSC by developing strict
