Abstract

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, idiopathic liver disease which, despite extensive laboratory-based investigation, translational studies, and clinical trials, lacks established medical treatment. In this chapter, we provide a succinct, comprehensive review of research regarding the potential role for ursodeoxycholic acid as a pharmacotherapy for PSC.
