Core Tip	To study the outcomes of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing colectomy. We identified 193 patients with PSC and UC undergoing colectomy at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, United States), between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2008. Eighty-nine patients were excluded. Of the 2441 patients with PSC, 104 patients (4.3%) had UC and underwent colectomy and were included. The median age was 43.2 years. One third of patients with PSC and UC undergoing colectomy died or underwent liver transplantation within 2.6 years. PSC patients with lower platelet counts and lower albumin levels were significantly more likely to have a poorer outcome.
