БОЛЕЗНЬ ВИЛЬСОНА – КОНОВАЛОВА: СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ МЕТОДЫ ЛЕЧЕНИЯ

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.
