Clinical Characterization of Ulcerative Colitis in Patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.

Conclusions: Our cohort's clinical/colonoscopic features of UC associated with PSC are more moderate or severe UC than previous cases. The coexistence of UC might affect the prognosis of PSC. In this regard, colonoscopy in PSC patients is an important examination for determining prognosis. There is also asymptomatic UC in patients with PSC. In this regard, screening for colonoscopy in PSC patients is essential. When a diagnosis of PSC is made, immediate colonoscopy is a priority with UC complications in mind. PMID: 33224192 [PubMed]
