2 Fig. 1 Pre-transplantation evaluation of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. This schematic presentation illustrates common clinical problems and possible ways of handling these. Abbrevations: HR-syndrome, hepatorenal syndrome; HP-syndrome, hepatopulmonal syndrome; PP-hypertension, portopulmonal hypertension; INR, international normalised ratio; CT, computerised tomography; MR, magnetic resonance; PET, positron emission tomography; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; CC, cholangiocarcinoma; HB-malignancy, hepatobiliary malignancy. Journal of Hepatology  , DOI: ( /j.jhep )

3 Fig. 2 A male PSC patient who in 1995 at the age of 34 years, received a liver allograft due to end-stage liver disease. Since 2000; multiple episodes with fever, abdominal pain and moderate jaundice—responding to antibiotic treatment. MR cholangiography (panel a) demonstrates multiple intrahepatic strictures and moderate dilatatations in the bile ducts, MR angiography (panel b) demonstrates normal angiogram. A liver biopsy (panel c) shows fibrous cholangitis, inflammation in the portal tract and moderate fibrosis. Diagnosis: PSC recurrence. Journal of Hepatology  , DOI: ( /j.jhep )
