Appointment prep
Prepare for a primary sclerosing cholangitis evaluation
Fatigue, itching, and abnormal liver tests in people with or without IBD are often attributed to medications or ignored. Medvo helps you document symptoms and request MRCP and hepatology referral — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Fatigue and debilitating itch that may precede jaundice
- · Right upper quadrant discomfort and elevated alkaline phosphatase
- · History of ulcerative colitis or other IBD
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · MRCP (MRI of bile ducts) and liver function tests
- · Referral to hepatologist experienced in PSC
- · Discussion of colonoscopy if IBD not already diagnosed
If you've been dismissed
- · Abnormal LFTs dismissed without imaging of the bile ducts
- · Itching and fatigue called 'just IBS' or stress
