80.139.115.208, you put more stuff into the intro. That's fine, but do keep in mind that everything you added is covered (in lay terms) later on in the article. I generally avoid discussions on the mechanisms of diseases in the intros, as many are still speculative. JFW | T@lk 22:51, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
"Malabsorption (especially of fat) and steatorrhea, leading to decreased levels of the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D and K." Shouldn't this include vit E? 67.124.100.215 06:35, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
It can however also start with children.
Um, do you mean that it can start in childhood? Or that a mother, after having children, could come down with it? Something else? Please clarify. --Jacqui M Schedler 23:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Added more on screening, role of ERCP for dominant strictures. -- Samir Grover 08:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
according to the most recent robbins textbook, autoantibodies are present in less than 10% of patients. i disagree, then, that primary sclerosing cholangitis is primarily caused by autoimmunity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.1.6 (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] PSC support
Adding the PSC-Support group link back. Is there a specific reason for it's deletion previously? Do you dislike the site itself, or do you see a problem of some sort with the description? Just FYI it's not a commercial site (that is it's on yahoo, but the group itself doesn't try to sell anything), and it is more directly related to PSC than some other links that you've left. I did try to follow guidelines for adding the link, but I am a newbie here so if I did something wrong let me know and I'll try to fix it!
- You didn't do anything wrong but I suspect the link may not be suitable. Yahoo groups (and any unauthoratitive online resource) are poor candidates for linking as per WP:EL. If you think the remaining links are not suitable, please point out which ones. JFW | T@lk 22:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Case series
A very large case series from Germany: doi:10.1111/j.1572-0241.2006.00872.x JFW | T@lk 16:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Epidemiology
Mikael Häggström (talk · contribs) added a single study that looked at the epidemiology of PSC. I suggested that a secondary source be used because a single study might skew the results depending on the population. Mikael then returned exactly the same data but with a source supporting its existence! This is not what I meant. The source (well done for finding it) also gives data from a Spanish study that strongly conflicts with the Norwegian data. I have now fully removed the Norwegian source and just cited everything to the Feld 2003 paper. It is available freely online. It might also be a useful source for some other content, such as disease associations. JFW | T@lk 11:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your improvement. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
