Risk factors and prognosis for recurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis after liver transplantation: a Nordic Multicentre Study

Abstract

This study confirms that colectomy before liver transplantation is associated with a decreased risk of rPSC. Inflammatory activity of IBD was not associated with the risk of rPSC. Tacrolimus was an independent risk factor for PSC recurrence and its use as first line immunosuppression in PSC needs further study.
