Abstract:
Wilson’s disease is caused by an inherited defect in the liver’s
ability to excrete copper into the bile. The resulting copper accumulation and copper toxicity lead to liver disease, and in some patients,
brain damage. Patients are typically between the ages of 10 and 40
and suffer from liver disease, a neurological disorder such as motor
disturbances or behavioral abnormalities, often in combination. Since
Wilson – Konovalov disease can be effectively treated, it is crucial for
physicians to recognize and diagnose this condition. Treatment options
have rapidly evolved in recent years, with zinc now being the drug of
choice in most situations.
