Reply to "PSC"

Are you asking about PSC or milk thistle? Milk thistle is a supplement to support the liver. It had helped get my enzyme levels back to normal.

PSC is a narrowing of the bile ducts of the liver. It will increase liver enzymes. It can lead to jaundice, excessive fatigue, and possibly liver failure. The later is a worse case scenario. My brother had a severe case of PSC that caused him to die of an infection because his liver was so weak. I have PSC and have not progressed any where  near the point he did. Probably because I use milk thistle and my GI monitors it so well. It’s not uncommon for people who have UC or crohns to also have PSC, but my brother did not.

Hope this sheds light on your question 😊
