硬化性胆管炎代表一系列慢性胆道疾病，其病因不明（即，原发性的）或由可识别的对胆道系统的损害引起的（即，次级）。到目前为止，原发性硬化性胆管炎的流行病学已被评估，但其病因仍然不清楚。相反，继发性硬化性胆管炎的病因一直是已知的，但这种临床实体的流行病学研究是困难的。
Sclerosing cholangitis represents a spectrum of chronic biliary diseases that either has an unknown etiology (i.e., primary) or is caused by identifiable insults to the biliary tree (i.e., secondary). To date, the epidemiology of primary sclerosing cholangitis has been appraised; however, its etiology continues to be unclear. In contrast, the etiology of secondary sclerosing cholangitis is always known, but the epidemiology of this clinical entity is difficult to study.
