In 50% of cases primary sclerosing cholangitis is  associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The cause of the disease  is unknown and many questions concerning the pathogenesis still remain  open. In recent years our knowledge of the natural course, the risk of  cholangiocarcinoma and the possibility of medical, endoscopic and  surgical treatment has increased. Ursodeoxycholic acid, endoscopic  treatment and liver transplantation have become standard therapeutic  procedures. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is the proceedings of the Falk Workshop held on October 3,  1997, in Freiburg, Germany (Part II of the Liver Week Freiburg 1997),  and covers the most important aspects of this fascinating disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387459\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 134\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541622386828,"sku":"9780792387459","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792387459.jpg?v=1771517810","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792387459","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
