  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an immune-mediated chronic cholestatic liver disease and can progress to end-stage liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and liver failure, and there are still no effective treatment methods at present. Studies have found that T lymphocytes are closely associated with the development and progression of PSC. This article reviews the role of T lymphocytes in PSC, so as to provide new ideas for research on the pathogenesis of PSC and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PSC.
