About this trial

The purpose of this research is to create a collection of bile, bile duct brushings and medical information from people with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and controls to learn more about changes that occur in the liver.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients diagnosed with PSC between the age of 18 and 85.

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.

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 with PSC and Cholangiocarcinoma will be included.

Disqualifiers

Patients unable to provide inform consent.

Prisoners and institutionalized individuals.

PSC with orthotopic liver transplantation

History of Roux En Y procedure

Trial population

Subjects with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and controls without PSC will be able to participate in this study.
