“…Serum aminotransferase levels are elevated in the majority of patients with this disease (about 2-3 times upper limits of normal), but like the alkaline phosphatase can also be in the normal range [9]. CT imaging can detect thickening of the bile ducts with contrast enhancement consistent with inflammation, saccular dilatations of the intrahepatic ducts, heterogeneous bile duct dilatation, document the presence of portal hypertensive complications (i.e., varices, splenomegaly, and ascites), and can identify mass lesions [10][11][12][13][14]. Detectable auto antibodies are found in about 97% of patients with PSC [15], these auto antibodies, however, are not routinely used for the diagnosis of PSC, as they may not be present and furthermore do not correlate with disease severity or disease prognosis [16].…”
