Symptoms of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) damages the hepatic, cystic, and common bile ducts.

The main symptoms of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) are:

  • Itching
  • Fatigue
  • Yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes

An infection in the bile ducts can cause chills and fever. PSC progresses slowly, so a person can have the disease for years before symptoms develop.
