Microscopic colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis are bidirectionally associated: A nationwide matched cohort and case–control study
This nationwide study reveals a bidirectional association between MC and PSC. Although absolute risks are low, these findings suggest that MC may have diagnostic relevance in suspected PSC cases, and vice versa. Physicians treating MC patients should be alert to signs and symptoms of PSC.
