About this trial

This study is a biobank of specimens and clinical data for use in current and future research to better understand the cholestatic liver diseases primary biliary cirrhosis/cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients diagnosed with PSC and who are between the age of 18 and 85 at time of enrollment in the study.

The diagnosis of PSC will be based on standard PSC criteria including clinical and biochemical evidence of chronic cholestasis of at least six months duration, positive cholangiographic findings, and compatible liver biopsies if available.

Patients with PSC who have undergone orthotopic liver transplantation will be offered enrollment except for collection of bile - please see below under

Disqualifiers

Women with PSC of childbearing potential and pregnant women will be offered enrollment because there is no risk to an unborn child in this investigation.

Patients diagnosed with PBC and who are between the age of 18 and 85 at time of enrollment in the study.

The diagnosis of PBC will be based on standard PBC criteria including clinical and biochemical evidence of chronic cholestasis of at least six month duration, positive anti-mitochondrial antibodies in serum and compatible liver biopsies, if available.

Patients with PBC who have undergone orthotopic liver transplantation will be offered enrollment except for collection of bile - please see below under Exclusion Criteria.

Trial population

Patients with PBC, PSC, controls without liver disease, and with other chronic liver disease without history of PBC or PSC seen or followed at Mayo Clinic will be invited to participate in this study.
