Chronic Fatigue Persists in a Significant Proportion of Female Patients After Transplantation for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Ewa Wunsch, Anna Stadnik, Beata Kruk, Benedykt Szczepankiewicz, Katarzyna Kotarska, Marcin Krawczyk, Barbara Górnicka, Maciej Wójcicki, Piotr Milkiewicz – 27 February 2021 – Chronic fatigue and an impairment of general health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) are frequently reported by patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
