Abstract
|
|
|
Wilson's disease is as rare inherited disease transmitted with an autosomal recessive trait and characterized by the excessive accumulation of copper in the body, principally in the liver and brain, but with involvement of kidneys, eyes, and
skeletal
system as well. We experienced a patient with Wilson's disease who showed chronic active hepatitis and characteristic copper accumulation in liver parenchyme and abnormal laboratory finding, neurologic symptom, Kayser-Fleischer ring. Low copper
diet and
chelation of excess copper resulted in improvement of neurologic symptom in a few months. We report a case of Wilson's disease in male patient with review of literature. (Korean J Gastroenterol 1995; 27: 132-137)
