warning

"Most patients demonstrate at least one type of autoantibody, typically anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) and antinuclear antibody (ANA), which are seen in up to 75%. p-ANCA is also positive in up to 80% of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis ¹⁹."

Line 19:190 · 'ANCA' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"MRCP and ERCP"

Line 53:14 · 'ERCP' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"ERCP has traditionally been the gold standard for the depiction of the biliary tree, and also offers the ability to perform cholangioplasty, if necessary. In practice, however, MRCP is used before ERCP since it is non-invasive, can assess the liver, and avoids the 10% risk of hospitalisation from ERCP in primary sclerosing cholangitis patients ¹⁷."

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The average age of diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis is 54 years (range 6-93), with increased occurrence in men (63%) ¹⁵. A large number of asymptomatic individuals are identified upon investigation of persistently deranged liver function tests. Symptomatic individuals commonly present non-specifically with fatigue. More specific symptoms include pruritus, jaundice or gastrointestinal bleeding ¹⁶."

Line 9:374 · Use the Oxford comma in 'pruritus, jaundice or gastrointestinal'.

"No medical therapy has stood the test of time, with ursodeoxycholic acid, immunosuppression, chelation and antifibrinolytic therapy unable to demonstrate consistent benefits over placebo ⁸."

Line 77:78 · Use the Oxford comma in 'immunosuppression, chelation and antifibrinolytic'.

Semicolons

suggestion
