Dad passed away due to a rare liver condition - PSC is chronic progressive liver disease whose cause and cure is unknown, advancing toward cirrhosis and sometimes liver failure.

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis is a disease primarily of the bile ducts, both inside and outside the liver (the ducts of the gallbladder and pancreas may also be involved) The walls of the bile ducts become inflamed (cholangitis). The inflammation causes scarring and hardening (fibrosis) that narrows the bile ducts. The bile is then unable to drain through the ducts accumulating in the liver causing damage to liver cells. Eventually, so much bile is accumulated, it seeps into the bloodstream. As a result of this long term cell damage the liver develops cirrhosis (hardening or fibrosis).

Cause
The exact cause of PSC is unknown. Researchers suggest that there may be a connection to the immune system, but this is yet unproven
