A 32-year-old man is reviewed in the gastroenterology follow up clinic

A 32-year-old man is reviewed in the gastroenterology follow up clinic. He had initially been referred three months previously due to abnormal liver biochemistry results, while being investigated for fatigue. After further investigation, he has been diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). He is particularly troubled by pruritus and asks if there is anything that he can take to relieve it.
