SSC is clinically related to primary<unk>  cholangitis (PSC), but originates from a known pathological process. Diagnosis of PSC requires the exclusion of all<unk>  causes of<unk>  cholangitis; else, if a known aetiology can be uncovered, SSC is diagnosed. Its clinical and cholangiographic features may mimic PSC, yet its natural history may be more favorable if recognition is prompt and appropriate therapy is introduced.<unk>  cholangitis in critically ill patients, however, is associated with rapid disease progression and poor outcome. Serologic testing, radiological imaging and histological analysis can help diagnose SSC.
