The clinical course of ulcerative colitis after orthotopic liver transplantation for primary sclerosing cholangitis: further appraisal of immunosuppression post transplantation.

Background And Aims: The course of ulcerative colitis (UC) following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is unclear. We documented the nationwide experience of the course of UC, before and after OLT for PSC.

Methods And Results: A total of 470 liver transplants were performed for 413 patients between 1992 and 2003, in the Scottish Liver Transplantation Unit, UK.
