Management of PSC
Case 1
Mrs A.O. – 45 yr old Secretary – Caucasian PMH 1977 - developed total ulcerative colitis at 12
- treated with salazopyrine 1 gm bd
- colitis quiescent until 1991
1996– developed severe attack of UC requiring hospital admission / iv steroids / blood transfusion
- symptoms settled on treatment
Abnormal LFT’s noted - Asymptomatic
Management of PSC Case 1
2001 – Abnormal LFT’s AST - 75 IU/l ( NR 15-40 ) AlK Phos - 820 IU/l ( NR 80-250 ) GGT - 552 IU/l ( NR 10-50 ) Alb - 42 g/l Bili - 16 umol/l 2001 – ERCP – “diffuse IH/EH PSC”
- No treatment
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Risk factors
Male gender Environmental factors eg. Non-smoker
(cp PBC)
IBD Genetic predisposition
PSC and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
PSC -uncommon but increasing prev: 7-9/100,000 pop 20/100,00 pop latest: 25/100,000 (2011) (Olmstead County,USA South Wales,Sweden)
PSC -70-80% have assoc IBD
PSC -occurs in 5-10% of Total UC
- underestimate?
ERCP MRC P
PSC & Inflammatory Bowel Disease*
Total UC with normal LFT’s
.6/55 (12%) abnormal MRCP
.ALL 10pts DR3 +/pANCA + 4M:6F /Smokers .cp 0/30 age matched controls *Bungay et al; GUT 2008
MRCP UC with Dysplasia /cancer : 12% have PSC
Clinical Features of UC assoc with PSC “PSC-UC” –
Different clinical phenotype?
Male predominance [2:1] /different genotype Total in distribution – but symptomatically mild Rectal sparing in 23% -cp 5% of UC alone Backwash Ileitis in 64%-cp 18% of UC alone
- backwash ileitis assoc with colon ca /dysplasia
Extra colonic manifestations different (HLA)
- rheumatoid arthritis,no skin or eye involvement
Increased rate pouchitis post colectomy
Current gene status in IBD/PSC 2013
Found in PSC with and without IBD – BCL 211- encodes Bim – major effect on immune tolerance
Found only in PSC pts with IBD-Macrophage stim proteins: regulate innate immune response to bacterial
ligands FUT2
Effects constitution of biome
BCL2 11
Genetic Studies in PSC conclusion
Confirmed Close HLA Association
- A1 B8 DR3; DR6; DR2
New genes from immunochip
- Immune response genes
(shared with other organ specific AI diseases)
- FUT2;BCL211
Conclusion
PSC is a complex, polygenic , autoimmune disease
Different genetic profile to IBD (some similarities)
Different genetic profile to PBC ( no similarities)
Etiopathogenesis of PSC?
?
Etiopathogenesis of PSC?
?
Current evidence suggests PSC/IBD is genotypically and phenotypically distinct from UC
- r Crohn’s without PSC
PSC/IBD separate,distinct disease
Possible mechanism
Immune mediated “autoimmune disease”(GWAS)
Specific bacterial Ag’s from the “biome” gain access to the immune system through “leaky”colon
Shared colonic / biliary antigens attacked by gut derived T lymphocytes (inappropriate homing of gut derived T lymphs to liver)
Toxic Bile
Pathogenesis of PSC
“Complex genetic disease”
Management of PSC
Case 1
Dec 2004 – Colitis no problem but developed severe fatigue/itching
- deterioration in LFT’s-alk phos doubled
alb/bilirubin remained normal Dec 2004 – MRCP & repeat ERCP – “main duct stricture”
- balloon dilatation of stricture
- no improvement in itching
March 2005 – liver biopsy “biliary cirrhosis”
Management of PSC Case 1
Nov 2005 – referred to Oxford co fatigue ;itch ;rigors ;pale stools
- n examination :
no signs of liver disease no hepatosplenomegaly liver function tests: Alb – 41 Bili – 18 AST – 29 Alk Phos – 1851 Admitted for investigation
Management of PSC Case 1 differential diagnosis?
dominant stricture biliary sludge worsening disease cholangiocarcinoma hepatocellular carcinoma
Management of PSC
Case 1
Nov 2005 Admitted for Investigation Plan : ▫ Tumour markers CEA / CA 19-9/ AFP ▫ Abdo CT Scan (MRCP N/A) ▫ Biliary cytology (DIA & FISH n/a) ▫ ERCP and balloon dilatation ▫ Liver biopsy ▫ Review previous ERCP/liver histology ▫ Colonoscopy
Management of PSC Case 1
Nov 2005 – repeat ERCP .sphincterotomy- “no
dominant stricture”
. guidewire/cytology brush
“no malignant cells seen”
Management of PSC Case 1
Tumour Markers -
▫ AFP - 3 KU/l ( 0-7 ) ▫ CA 19-9 - 16 U/ml ( 0-33 ) ▫ CEA – 1 ug/l ( 0-4 )
King’s Index *–
▫ CA 19-9 + ( CEA X 40) > 400 indicates
cholangiocarcinoma

Management of PSC Case 1
Abdominal CT Scan
CT needle biopsy CT- Two nodules
Management of PSC Case 1
Liver Histology 1 ( March 2005 )
Management of PSC Case 2 (March 2005)
On Review;”biliary dysplasia”
Management of PSC Case 1
Liver Histology 2 (C.T guided) [ Dec 2005]
“biliary cirrhosis”- no dysplasia
Management of PSC
Case 1-Biliary Dysplasia*
▫
Biliary dysplasia is definite entity
▫
Antedated cholangiocarcinoma by 2 years in 25%PSC pts who eventually develop cholangioca
▫
Relationship with colonic dysplasia? *Fleming et al;J Hepatol 2001:34:360-4

“Gall Bladder Polyp”
What to do next?
Management of PSC
March 2006 lap cholecystectomy

Gallbladder mass in 14: 8 malignant adenoca Favourable survival : 36 month survival 66% Benign adenomatous polyps in 5/6; dysplasia in
2/5
Recommend “annual US : early
cholecystectomy for gall bladder polyps” *Buckles DC et al, Am J Gastroenterol 2002;97:1138
What to do next? Patient wants transplant
“can’t live with uncertainty”
