A liver transplant is a gift of life, but it is not a cure.

1 in 3 people with PSC need a transplant within 10 yrs. Even after surgery, patients face lifelong medication, rejection risks, and the potential for PSC to recur.

Let’s talk Vitamin D! ☀️ The UK’s "sunshine vitamin" is hard to come by in February. Most people are advised to supplement for bone and muscle health. For those with PSC, malabsorption is a common hurdle in PSC.
How are you getting your Vitamin D? Daily spray, tablet, or a sunny window? #LetsBeatPSC

#Bileductcancer (#CCA) is hard to spot. Why? Because it hides behind the symptoms of PSC. By investing in a diverse range of projects, from 3D bile ducts to the #AspPSC clinical trial, we're working to give the #PSCcommunity better outcomes.

PSC Support-funded research is a crucial step toward personalised PSC care. Dr Ghada Nouairia's team found molecular "signatures" in blood that may predict disease progression & CCA risk.
• Closer to tailored monitoring
• New early detection markers

Flat, fluffy, or full of fruit...pancakes are as varied as PSC. 🥞

In 2007, there were 0 clinical trials for PSC. In 2026, we have momentum like never before. We’ve moved from hope to measuring quality of life and preventing complications. But the job isn't done until we have a cure for 100% of our community.

Watching a loved one live with PSC can feel overwhelming, but you can always help. Melanie & her family showed support for Ryan by tackling an inflatable course! They raised vital funds & had a laugh along the way.
