Guest guest Posted October 14, 1999 Report Share Posted October 14, 1999 Bill, PSC is also thought to be an autoimmune disease the same as autoimmune hepatitis. From what I gather, the immune system attacks the intra and extra hepatic bile ducts with PSC. With AIH the attack is directed at the liver itself. In any event, the end result of both diseases can be cirrhosis. Perhaps someone else in the group with more knowledge can give us a more detailed explanation.
