RESUMO
Background: Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, progressive cholestatic liver disease of unknown aetiology. Its incidence and prevalence vary considerably in Asian and Western studies.1 The differences in the recorded epidemiological data suggest that the presentation of PSC may vary in different populations. PSC has a strong association with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The phenotype in patients with PSC alone can be different to that of patients with both PSC and IBD (PSC-IBD). There is a dearth of information on this topic from African countries in general and more specifically in the Black South African population
