Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a currently incurable liver disease that mostly affects younger people aged between 30 and 40. There are now justified hopes that this disease could be cured using synthetically manufactured bile acids, a process that is being researched in the Clinical Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the MedUni Vienna.

"Primary sclerosing cholangitis is one of the last big 'black boxes' in hepatology, one of the last unsolved mysteries," says Trauner. "If the cure works with Nor-Urso, this would be a remarkable breakthrough in hepatology." It would also underpin the internationally leading position that hepatology at the MedUni Vienna holds.
